He described the silence as “sad and unkind act” towards Palestinian people and all those speaking up for a free Palestine.
The Hamas leader and his bodyguard were killed in an attack on Wednesday while he was visiting Tehran for the inauguration of Iranian President Masaoud Pezeshkian. The attack came just hours after Israel killed Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut.
