TUNIS, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Tunisia strongly condemned the assassination of Hamas Politburo Chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on Wednesday.
Tunisia considered the assassination as a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of states and a disregard for all human and moral values and international conventions, said a statement made by the Tunisian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday evening.
