Indonesian president condemns Hamas leader’s ‘murder’

Indonesian President Joko Widodo has condemned the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, calling it an act of "murder."

"This was an act of violence, a murder that is intolerable, and it occurred within the sovereign territory of Iran," he stated during a speech at the Jakarta Convention Centre.

"I believe everyone, including Indonesia, strongly condemns such violence and murder," he added.

Hamas has accused Israel of being responsible for the attack on Haniyeh’s residence in Tehran, although Israel has not claimed responsibility.
