The Hamas Movement has condemned the US assassination of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani in Iraq as “a crime and a brutal act.”
In a press release on Friday Hamas said that “such US crime reflected persistence in fueling tension in the region for the sake of the criminal Zionist entity.”
The Movement held the US administration fully responsible for any further bloodshed in the Arab region affirming such aggressive behavior would fuel regional conflicts with no regard for the Arab peoples’ interests.
It expressed its sincere condolences and sympathy to the Iranian leadership and people on the death of Soleimani hailing his role in supporting the Palestinian resistance in its struggle against the Israeli occupation.
