‘We brought justice to him today’
And so we will do with the rest of the heads of the terrorist organisation.
(Hamas's Damascus-based politburo chief) Khaled Meshaal's fate will be identical to that of Rantissi.
Our revenge will come a hundredfold for the blood of Rantissi and Yassin.
The Palestinian Cabinet considers this terrorist Israeli campaign is a direct result of American encouragement and the complete bias of the American administration towards the Israeli government.
As we have repeatedly made clear, Israel has the right to defend itself from terrorist attacks.
The United States is gravely concerned for regional peace and stability. The United States strongly urges Israel to consider carefully the consequences of its actions, and we again urge all parties to exercise maximum restraint at this time. This is especially true at a moment when there is hope that an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza will bring a new opportunity for progress toward peace.
The EU has consistently condemned extrajudicial killings. Israel has a right to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks, but actions of this type are not only unlawful, they are not conducive to lowering tension.
The secretary-general condemns Israel's assassination of Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantissi. He reiterates extrajudicial killings are violations of international law and calls on the government of Israel to immediately end this practice. He is apprehensive such an action would lead to further deterioration of an already distressing and fragile situation.
I am following with great sadness the tragic news from the Holy Land. The shedding of blood by brothers must end. Such inhuman acts are contrary to the will of God.
