OIC summit after the meeting: "A despicable act"
The killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniya in Tehran last week is a "heinous act" whose only effect is to increase tensions in the region. That's what Mamadou Tangara, foreign minister of The Gambia, who currently holds the presidency of the Islamic Conference Organization OIC, says.
The OIC countries met at the request of Iran and condemn the incident. According to AFP, Tangara points out that the international order is based on respecting the sovereignty of countries.
- Violations have significant consequences, he says.
Iran has vowed heavy retaliation against Israel, which has yet to comment on Haniya's death.

Analysis: Peace settlement has never been so far away
The terrorist group Hamas has gained an even more extreme leader. That's what NBC's Natasha Turak writes in an analysis after the "mastermind behind" the attack on Israel on October 7, Yahya Sinwar, was named Ismail Haniya's successor.
Turak writes that the new leader is notorious for his ruthlessness and that the election does not bode well, neither for the Palestinians who suffer from Israel's bombings nor for the Israelis who are still being held hostage.
Analyst Victor Tricaud says that Sinwar always had a hand in the ceasefire negotiations - and that he will have freer leeway now that the more pragmatic Haniya is dead.
Sky News' Alistair Bunkall is on the same track and writes that an agreement between Israel and Hamas appears further away than ever. Hamas's most hard-line phalanx sees the appointment as a victory, he writes.
Bunkall also points out that Sinwar has close ties to Iran and is not a favorite of the mediator country Qatar.
