Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov today strongly condemned the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian group Hamas, in a drone strike on his residence in Tehran, saying it undermines prospects of ending the conflict in Gaza.

At a press briefing in Moscow, Peskov stated that the attack was detrimental to peace efforts in the region and risked destabilising the situation.

“We strongly condemn this attack, which resulted in Mr. Haniyeh’s death. Such actions undermine attempts to establish peace in the region and could significantly destabilise an already tense situation,” he emphasised.

In a separate statement, the Russian Foreign Ministry described the attack as a “political assassination.”

Golly, who could have imagined this? Russia now wants peace and opposes assassinations. We live in an age of wonders.

“Peace efforts” == compromise with terrorists so they can hit you again.

All of the remaining HAMAS leadership might rest in pieces if the hostages are not soon released.

MEMO is regarded as an outlet for the Muslim Brotherhood
