Egypt and Oman condemn Haniyeh's assassination

The Oman News Agency reported that the Sultanate of Oman has condemned the assassination of Hamas's political bureau chief, Ismail Haniyeh.

Omani Foreign Minister stated that the killing is deplorable and must be condemned, as it will only lead to further instability and more conflict, representing a serious setback to the cause of peace. 

A statement from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said that the Israeli escalation indicated a lack of political will from Israel for de-escalation, after the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.

The assassination along with making no progress in Gaza ceasefire talks, was complicating the situation, it added.
