Saudi Arabia on Wednesday condemned last week's killing in Tehran of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh as a "flagrant violation" of Iran's sovereignty, in its first comment on the attack.
Haniyeh's killing "is a flagrant violation of the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran... and constitutes a threat to regional peace and security," Saudi Vice Foreign Minister Waleed bin Abdulkarim El-Khereiji told a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, a statement said.
