Haniyeh’s assassination 'underscores the urgent need for de-escalation': Malaysian foreign ministry

Malaysia has stated that it “unequivocally condemns all acts of violence, including targeted assassinations” and urged “all peace-loving nations to join in denouncing such actions” following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Iran.

Haniyeh’s assassination “underscores the urgent need for de-escalation and reinforces the necessity for all parties to engage in constructive dialogue and pursue peaceful resolutions,” the Malaysian foreign ministry said in a statement.
