The State of Qatar has strongly condemned the assassination of the Head of the Political Bureau of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) Dr Ismail Haniyeh in the Iranian capital, Tehran. The State of Qatar considers it a heinous crime, a dangerous escalation, and a flagrant violation of international and humanitarian law.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the assassination and reckless targeting of civilians will lead the region into chaos and undermine the chances of peace.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated the State of Qatar’s firm stance against violence, terrorism and criminal acts, including political assassinations, regardless of the motives.
The ministry expressed the condolences of the State of Qatar, its leadership and people, to the family of the Head of the Political Bureau of Hamas and his personal companion, and the State of Palestine and its people.
