The leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, who was staying in Tehran for the inauguration ceremony of Iranian President Pezeshkian, was assassinated in his residence. Reactions continue to pour in following the shocking news of Haniyeh's death. The leader of the MHP, Bahçeli, expressed his condolences for the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh due to a cowardly assassination. Bahçeli stated the following in his message: "The martyrdom of Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh in the residential area where he resided in Tehran this morning will deepen the chaos engulfing the Middle East. The simultaneous attacks by Israel on Gaza and ultimately Lebanon, along with the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, will undoubtedly have dire consequences. The fact that this assassination took place in Tehran, especially after the Israeli Prime Minister's visit to the US, is not coincidental. Those who ordered, supported, facilitated, and created the environment for this terrorist act are undoubtedly under heavy responsibility." "AN UNNAMED WAR IS IN CIRCULATION"The multidimensional repercussions and operational echoes of Haniyeh's assassination are inevitable. The cards are being played openly. An unnamed state of war is in circulation. The international community, which has remained silent and passive in the face of the systematic destruction of an oppressed people, must immediately take action and engage in both preventive and punitive interventions. The expansion of conflict areas in the Middle East in stages is akin to a spark that ignites a massive and widespread war. The danger is very serious. The threat is enormous. What is even more distressing is the increasing obstruction and blunting of hopes for peace between Israel and Palestine. This dark picture will not benefit any country, especially Israel. The problem is rapidly moving away from being a conflict between two states and is evolving into a complete polarization of right and wrong, oppressed and oppressor, cross and crescent, martyr and murderer, mercy and malevolence, conscience and vandalism. "ISLAMIC COUNTRIES MUST IMMEDIATELY ABANDON INERTIA"In these days when we are facing sharp turns in history, Islamic countries must undoubtedly make an assessment, break free from the silence of death, and immediately abandon the inertia and helplessness of playing the three monkeys. Otherwise, the smallest consequential result of this will not be the last regret, and it will be considered a series of bankruptcies that have been publicly exposed and declared in terms of humanitarian and Islamic values. I pray to Almighty Allah for mercy for Mr. Ismail Haniyeh, the Chief of the Hamas Political Bureau, and all the Palestinian martyrs who lost their lives in the genocide, and I share my condolences with the Palestinian people." "THE KILLING OF THE HAMAS LEADER IS A MURDER"Özgür Özel, who came to Eskişehir for a series of visits, also spoke about Haniyeh's killing and the attacks by Israel. Özel stated that those who applauded Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in America are accomplices in this massacre and said, "Wherever there is violence, wherever there is death, we feel sorrow. We stand against Israel's state terrorism in Palestine. But we were saddened by the attacks launched by Hamas in October. Innocent people were killed. But innocent people were killed there, and they killed 40,000 people in response. They still don't stop. Those who applaud Netanyahu in America are accomplices in this massacre. It is an act that will eventually force the international community to accept the definition of a person who shoots children, women, ambulances, hospitals, and the perpetrator of a robbery. Those who applaud are responsible for the continuation of this violence. The killing of the Hamas leader is also an act of violence, a murder. We do not approve of it. Wherever in the world it happens, every drop of blood shed, every tear shed, hurts our hearts."
