JAKARTA - Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe strongly criticized Israel for the murder of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh at his residence in Tehran, Iran, Wednesday, July 31 local time.

Al Jazeera reported that the criticism was conveyed by Ranil in a meeting with former Sri Lankan provincial council member Podujana Perumuna (SLPP) and the United National Party (UNP) today.

Wickremesinghe said firmly that he would never forgive the act of murder secretly in the turmoil of war.

Turkey also strongly condemns the murder of Ismail Haniyeh. Turkey considers Israel the mastermind behind this murder.

Turkey's Foreign Ministry said this despicable act was evidence that Israeli Prime Minister (PM) Benjamin Netanyahu had no intention of a ceasefire let alone achieving peace in the conflict in Gaza, Palestine.

This action is also Israel's effort to expand Gaza's occupation to a regional scale.

The leader of Hamas Ismail Haniyeh and one of his bodyguards were killed in an Israeli attack in Taheran, Iran.

Based on information from the Iranian National Guard Pasukah (IRGC), the attack was carried out in the early hours of Wednesday, July 31.

Hamas responded to this attack by declaring the Israeli agent's murder.
