Hanan Ashrawi, a prominent Palestinian political figure and former member of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee, has made powerful statements regarding recent events in the Middle East.
According to Al Jazeera, she condemned Israel’s actions, describing them as “gangster style assassination and extrajudicial executions,” which she believes are intended to “inflame the whole region.”
Ashrawi highlighted the targeted killings of two key figures: Hamas’s political chief, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran, and Hezbollah’s military commander, Fuad Shukr, in Beirut, Lebanon. According to Ashrawi, these assassinations were not only direct attacks on the capitals of sovereign states but also strategic moves to “sabotage any chances” of achieving a ceasefire in Gaza and reducing regional tensions.
“These are attacks not just on the capitals of sovereign states but also on significant leaders to ensure total provocation and destabilization,” she wrote on social media. Her remarks underscore the gravity of these actions, suggesting they are deliberate attempts to maintain instability and prevent peace efforts.
Ashrawi went further to label Israel as a “rogue state” that poses a “real and present danger globally.” Her statement reflects deep-seated frustrations and the complexity of the geopolitical dynamics in the region. Her criticism sheds light on the broader implications of such targeted killings and the ongoing struggle for stability and peace in the Middle East….Sêe_Morē
