Afghan PM: Haniyeh's assassination violates international norms

Akhund expressed that Haniyeh's assassination is a blatant violation of international norms, illustrating that the perpetrators do not respect any principles of modern warfare. He emphasized that despite ongoing genocide against Palestinians, the Israeli regime has not achieved any significant victories in the Gaza Strip.

Akhund criticized Western institutions for their silence on the atrocities committed against women, children, and civilians in Gaza, suggesting their inaction reveals their true stance on human rights. He condemned the assassination as a cowardly act and declared that such sacrifices will ultimately bear fruit, referencing the promise of Allah.

"The martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh is a significant loss for the Islamic Ummah, but the Palestinian resistance for freedom and justice will persist," Akhund stated. He called on global and regional leaders to intervene and prevent further crimes by the Israeli occupation regime, warning that the responsibility for any escalation of the Gaza conflict lies with Israel and its supporters.

The Prime Minister’s message underscores the perceived desperation of the Israeli occupation regime and reiterates support for the Palestinian cause, particularly Hamas. Following Haniyeh's assassination, numerous officials from the Islamic Emirate have expressed solidarity with Palestinian resistance efforts.

The international community is urged to address and halt the aggressive actions of the Israeli regime to prevent further regional instability and violence. (ILKHA)
