The Palestinian resistance group Hamas condemned the killing of Hamas officials who were part of the negotiating delegation in the Qatari capital, Doha. The resistance group labelled the move as a “blatant act of aggression and a flagrant violation of all international norms and laws.”
“This crime represents an assault on the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, which, along with Egypt, plays a vital and responsible role in sponsoring mediation and efforts to halt the aggression and reach a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement, exposing once again the criminal nature of the occupation,” remarked Hamas.
“We confirm the failure of Israel’s attempt to assassinate Hamas officials in the negotiating delegation, though a number of our brothers were martyred,” added the resistance group.
Hamas further detailed the names of those martyred:
– Martyr Jihad Lubbad (Abu Bilal) – Director of Dr Khalil Al-Hayya’s Office.
– Martyr Hamam Al-Hayya (Abu Yahya) – Son of Dr Khalil Al-Hayya.
– Martyr Abdullah Abdul-Wahid (Abu Khalil) – security escort.
– Martyr Moumen Hassouna (Abu Omar) – security escort.
– Martyr Ahmed Al-Mamlouk (Abu Malik) – security escort.
“The targeting of the negotiating delegation, at a moment it was discussing the latest proposal from United States (US) President Donald Trump, confirms beyond any doubt that Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and his government do not want to reach any agreement and are deliberately seeking to fail all opportunities and international efforts,” asserted Hamas.
