Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned the killing of Haniyeh and Palestinian factions in the occupied West Bank called for a general strike and mass demonstrations, APA reports citing Reuters.
Recall that the head of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, was assassinated in Tehran along with one of his bodyguards, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Wednesday. Hamas announced that Haniyeh was killed in an Israeli raid on his residence in Tehran.
Haniyeh was in Tehran to attend Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian's swear-in ceremony on Tuesday.
