The killing of Hamas’s chief political leader Ismail Haniyeh is “an absolutely unacceptable political murder”, a deputy Russian foreign minister told the RIA Novosti state news agency on Wednesday.

“This is an absolutely unacceptable political murder, and it will lead to further escalation of tensions,” Mikhail Bogdanov was quoted as saying.
