Indonesian President slams Hamas leader’s “murder” in Iran

Jakarta (Quds News Network)- Indonesian President Joko Widodo has condemned the assassination of Hamas top leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran, calling it an act of “murder.”
“This was an act of violence, a murder that is intolerable, and it occurred within the sovereign territory of Iran,” he stated during a speech at the Jakarta Convention Centre.
“I believe everyone, including Indonesia, strongly condemns such violence and murder,” he added.
Hamas and Iran have accused Israel of being responsible for the attack on Haniyeh’s residence in Tehran, although Israel has not claimed responsibility, yet.
The Palestinian group Hamas confirmed on Wednesday morning the assassination of the head of its political bureau Ismail Haniyeh in a “treacherous Zionist raid on his residence.”
Haniyeh had traveled to Tehran to attend Tuesday’s inauguration of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. This visit marked Haniyeh’s final public appearance.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced that it would investigate the incident: “We are studying the dimensions of Haniyeh’s martyrdom incident in Tehran.”
Iranian media reported that Haniyeh was killed by an “airborne guided projectile” that hit the residence where he was staying in the north of the capital Tehran at about 2am local time (22:30 GMT on Tuesday) at a special residence for military veterans.
