Egypt's Ambassador to Palestine Wael Naser el-Din has condemned the killing of a Palestinian Authority minister at the hand of Israeli security forces in the West Bank on Wednesday.
Ziad Abu Ein, who was the head of the Anti-Wall and Settlement Commission, died in Ramallah Hospital after being hit and shoved by soldiers at a protest against the separation barrier near the village of Turmusayya, northeast of Ramallah.
The ambassador slammed the Israeli occupation forces' use of excessive force, calling for a prompt and transparent probe into the incident.
