Head of Hamas’s political bureau Ismail Haneyya affirmed that he received a pledge from the Egyptian intelligence to investigate the killing of a Palestinian fisherman by the Egyptian navy on Wednesday.
“The killing of a Palestinian fisherman by Egyptian naval fire is shocking and unjustified because the issue of fishing was part of understandings with the Egyptian side” Haneyya stated during the funeral of slain fisherman Mustafa Abu Odeh.
“I contacted the Egyptian intelligence to have information about what happened yesterday and the agency promised to open an investigation into the incident and to punish the shooter” the Hamas official said.
