00:00
A brazen killing in the heart of enemy territory.
00:03
The assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran has been met with condemnation from allies
00:08
of the Palestinian cause.
00:10
Qatar, where Haniyeh lived and worked in exile, calling it a heinous crime and a dangerous
00:15
escalation that will lead to the region slipping into chaos.
00:19
The Foreign Ministry of Turkey, where Haniyeh also spent some of his time denouncing what
00:24
it calls a shameful assassination.
00:27
Once again, the Netanyahu government has shown that it has no intention of achieving peace.
00:32
If the international community does not take measures to stop Israel, our region will face
00:36
an even greater conflict.
00:39
That threat of escalation is clearly on the mind of Israel's chief ally, the United States,
00:44
which has already warned the Hebrew state that Washington has no interest in getting
00:48
dragged into a war with Iran.
00:50
I don't think war is inevitable.
00:52
We're going to do everything we can to make sure that we keep things from turning into
00:57
a broader conflict throughout the region.
01:00
The West's rivals weighing in as well, as Russia's foreign ministry condemned what it
01:04
calls a completely unacceptable political assassination.
01:07
China, meanwhile, taking a similar line, as it called for a comprehensive and permanent
01:12
ceasefire in Gaza.
01:15
We firmly oppose and condemn the act of assassination.
01:19
We are deeply concerned that this incident may lead to escalation and turbulence in the
01:23
region.
01:26
From the occupied Palestinian territories themselves, President Mahmoud Abbas, whose
01:31
Palestinian Authority is itself a rival of Hamas, called Haniyeh's killing a cowardly
01:36
act that reinforces the necessity of unifying Palestinian forces and factions.
