The ‘Zionist barbarism’ will not achieve its goals: Erdoğan

 President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Wednesday condemned the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran as "treacherous" and said the zionist barbarism once again will fail to reach its goals.

"This assassination aims to undermine the noble resistance of Gaza and the righteous struggle of Palestinians," Erdoğan said in a statement on X.

The war in Gaza and "Israeli terror" would end with the Islamic world standing stronger, Erdoğan said.

"For this, as Türkiye, we will continue to try all means, push all doors and support our Palestinian brothers with all our means and power," he said. "Zionist barbarism will not be able to achieve its goals again as it has done so far."

Iranian media said the strike that killed Haniyeh targeted "the special residences for war veterans in north Tehran," where he was staying. Haniyeh had traveled to Iran to attend the swearing-in of President Masoud Pezeshkian.

The war in Gaza and "Israeli terror" would end with the Islamic world standing stronger, Erdoğan said.

"For this, as Türkiye, we will continue to try all means, push all doors and support our Palestinian brothers with all our means and power," he said. "Zionist barbarism will not be able to achieve its goals again as it has done so far."

Türkiye's Foreign Ministry also condemned the assassination in a statement issued on July 31, expressing condolences to the Palestinian people.

"We express our condolences to the Palestinian people, hundreds of thousands of whom, like Haniyeh, have been martyred in order to live peacefully in their homeland under the roof of their own state," it said.

"The Netanyahu government's lack of intention to achieve peace has been demonstrated once again."
