Malaysian Cabinet demands swift justice over Ismail Haniyeh's assassination


PETALING JAYA: Immediate investigations must be carried out over the assassination of former Palestinian prime minister Ismail Haniyeh so that those responsible can be brought to justice, said Putrajaya.

Government spokesman Fahmi Fadzil said the Cabinet, following its weekly meeting, has condemned the assassination of the Hamas chief in Tehran, Iran and it stands in solidarity with Palestinians.

“The Cabinet also expresses condolences to the family of the former Palestinian prime minister and we urged for immediate investigations so that those responsible can be brought to justice.

“The Malaysian government will continue voicing out support and cooperating with other countries in our efforts to push for Palestinians to be freed from any forms of oppression,” said Fahmi in a statement on Wednesday (July 31).

On Wednesday (July 31), Hamas said in a statement that Israel attacked Ismail’s residence in Tehran, Iran.

Ismail was in Tehran to attend the inauguration of the new Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian on Tuesday (July 30).

Also present in Tehran was Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul as Malaysia’s representative at the inauguration ceremony.

Wisma Putra said Johari and other members of the Malaysian delegation in Tehran are safe.
