Newsman: Turkey has threatened to intervene in the conflict to support the Palestinians. Turkey’s foreign ministry labeled Haniyeh‘s killing a “heinous attack.”
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan himself weighed in a statement published on X, strongly condemning the “treacherous assassination,” holding Israel responsible for the attack “aimed at disrupting the Palestinian cause,” and adding that “Zionist barbarism will not be able to achieve its goals.”
“With the stronger stance of the Islamic world and the alliance of humanity, I hope that the terror inflicted by Israel in our region, especially the oppression and genocide in Gaza, will definitely come to an end,” Erdoğan wrote.
Moscow condemned what it called the “completely unacceptable political assassination” of Haniyeh.
“We believe that such actions are directed against attempts to restore peace in the region and could significantly destabilize an already tense situation,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
