New Delhi: The President of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Syed Sadatullah Husaini, has expressed profound shock over the martyrdom of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, condemning it as another act of fanatical terrorism by Israel. He emphasized that Israel has killed thousands of civilians and subjected the population of Gaza to brutal bombings and massacres. Previously, several members of Ismail Haniyeh’s family were martyred, and now the former Prime Minister of Palestine himself has been targeted during a diplomatic visit to a third country. This shameful act, Husaini asserted, is a result of Netanyahu’s terror regime. He stated that with this cowardly brutality, Israel has once again shown its disinterest in peace efforts and demonstrated how it poses a serious threat to regional and global peace.

In his statement, Syed Sadatullah Husaini expressed solidarity with the Palestinian people, affirming that Muslims and righteous individuals worldwide share their grief. He noted that the history of the Palestinian people is marked by sacrifice and martyrdom, serving as an inspiration to righteous people everywhere. The martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, he said, adds a new chapter to this history. Martyrdom does not weaken movements; instead, it infuses them with new strength and vigor. The martyrdom of Shaheed Ismail Haniyeh will further fortify the Palestinian freedom movement and aid in the liberation and restoration of the rights of the oppressed Palestinian people, God willing.

On this occasion, the President of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind called on the Government of India to raise a strong voice against this blatant barbarity and violation of international laws, urging effective diplomatic measures to halt Israel’s ongoing genocidal war in Gaza. In his statement, the JIH President prayed for the elevation of Ismail Haniyeh and all martyrs, for patience for their families and the Palestinian people, and for justice for the oppressed.
