ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan on Wednesday condemned the assassination of Hamas’s Political Bureau Ismail chief Ismail Haniyeh in Iran capital Tehran.
Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, in a statement, said “Pakistan condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations including extrajudicial and extraterritorial killings irrespective of the motives.”
She said Pakistan is 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.
The spokesperson said Pakistan views with serious concern the growing Israeli adventurism in the region. She said its latest acts constitute a dangerous escalation in an already volatile region and undermine efforts for peace.
