ISLAMABAD, (PIC)
Pakistan condemned the assassination of Ismail Haneyya, the Chief of Hamas Political Bureau, in Tehran on Wednesday.
“We extend our condolences to his family and the people of Palestine,” Pakistan’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
It added, “Pakistan condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations including extrajudicial and extraterritorial killings irrespective of the motives.”
“We are deeply shocked by the timing of this reckless act, coinciding with the inauguration of the President of Iran, an event attended by several foreign dignitaries, including the Deputy Prime Minister of Pakistan,” the statement said.
“Pakistan views with serious concern the growing Israeli adventurism in the region. Its latest acts constitute a dangerous escalation in an already volatile region and undermine efforts for peace,” the ministry statement concluded.
