The statement described the assassination as part of a broader criminal scheme by Israel aimed at the colonial erasure of Palestine. It further accused the United States of being an accomplice to every single one of these crimes, citing Washington’s role as the primary military, financial, and political supporter of the apartheid Zionist regime.
According to the ministry, the cowardly assassination of Palestinian leaders and elites is a clear indication of the regime's desperation and helplessness. Despite committing heinous atrocities and massacring hundreds of thousands of innocent people over the past eight decades, the regime has failed to extinguish the spirit of resistance against occupation, apartheid, and brutal colonialism among the Palestinian people. On the contrary, Palestinians are now more determined than ever to fight for their human rights, particularly the right to self-determination.
The statement concluded that the physical elimination of resistance commanders and Palestinian elites will not undermine the doctrine and path of resistance; rather, it will serve as an inspiration for the followers and fighters striving for the dignity and freedom of Palestine.
