Islamabad: Pakistan has officially condemned the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, Chief of the Political Bureau of Hamas, which occurred in Tehran earlier today. The attack has drawn sharp criticism from the Pakistani government, particularly given its timing during the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s President, an event marked by international diplomatic presence.
According to Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Pakistan expressed its condolences to Haniyeh’s family and the people of Palestine, emphasizing its stance against terrorism and extrajudicial killings under any circumstances. The incident, which coincided with the presence of numerous foreign dignitaries, including Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister, has been described as a significant escalation in regional tensions and a move that could potentially disrupt peace efforts in the Middle East.
Pakistan’s foreign office has highlighted the critical implications of such actions on regional stability and international relations, calling for restraint and a concerted effort towards peaceful resolution in the region.
