Iran condemns Israeli killing of PLC speaker Ahmad Bahr

TEHRAN, Nov. 19 (MNA) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned the Zionist regime’s military attack that resulted in the martyrdom of Deputy Speaker and Acting Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council Ahmed Bahr.

In a statement on Saturday, Nasser Kan'ani offered condolences over the loss of Bahr to the leadership of the Hamas Resistance movement, the Palestinian people, and the family of the late figure.

He stressed that the apartheid Zionist regime has once again exposed its evil, murderous, and inhumane nature to the whole world by killing Bahr and thousands of other Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West for over 40 days, the Foreign Ministry’s website reported.

Kan'ani noted that undoubtedly, such crimes will not weaken the firm determination of the Palestinian people and Resistance movements to keep fighting on the path to the liberation of their land from the Zionist occupiers.

He called on the international assemblies, organizations, and institutions to fulfill their responsibilities and take immediate deterrent measures to stop the targeted killing machine and organized terrorism of the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people and to hold the Zionist criminals accountable before justice and international law.

The Acting Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council Ahmed Bahr died on Friday as a result of his wounds from an airstrike during the attack launched by the Israeli regime's forces on the Gaza Strip.

On October 23, his wife and children were martyred when the Israeli aircraft bombed their house.
