By Desire Tshuma
The Palestine ambassador to Zimbabwe Dr Tarmer Almassrihas condemned in the strongest terms, the murder of Hamas leader Ismael Hiyeh.
“We condemn the assassination of Palestinian freedom fighter and head of political bureau of Hamas movement Mr. Ismail Hiyeh by the Israeli occupation forces.
“We consider this assassination a war crime and hold Israel responsible for the consequences that include escalation of the war into regional threatening world peace and security,” Ambassador Dr Almassri said.
“This is indeed a cowardly act by Israel, a new evidence that Israel is behaving above international law. We reiterate that Netanyahu and his accomplices should be brought before the ICJ and ICC for war crimes including the current genocide in Gaza.
“The Israeli apartheid occupation will push the Palestinian people to remain more steadfast in the face of the war crimes. The assassination once more proves that Israeli prime minister Netanyahu and his fascist government has no intention of achieving peace but to prolong its genocide in Gaza to shield himself from domestic criminal cases against him. We reiterate that the Palestinian people will use all means guaranteed by the international law to defend themselves against this brutal occupation assuring that Palestinians will not leave their holy land and will never raise the white flag until we achieve the Palestinian independent state with Jerusalem as it’s capital.”
