The federal cabinet has condemned in strongest terms the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was martyred in Tehran the other day.

The cabinet, which met in Islamabad today with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in the chair, also appealed to the entire nation to offer "Ghaibana Namaz-e-Janaza " of Shaheed Ismail Haniyeh after Jumma prayer.
