Erdogan on PA Minister’s Heart failure Death: ‘Despicable Israeli Action’ (Matzav).

Initially, Hussein al-Sheikh, a top Palestinian official, told Reuters that Jordanian and Palestinian doctors involved in the late night examination of the body said Ziad Abu Ein, 55, had died from being struck, inhaling tear gas and not receiving prompt medical attention.

However, the report, being led by Palestinian, Jordanian and Israeli pathologists, said the death was caused by blockage in the coronary artery, and there were signs of light internal bleeding and localized pressure on the neck.

The deceased suffered from heart disease, and there was evidence that plaque buildup were clogging more than 80% of his blood vessels, as well as signs that he had suffered heart attacks in the past. 

In fact, he refused medical assistance from an IDF medic, and even arrived at the hospital in 'light' condition, and then had the heart attack here according to one report. 

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan condemned Israel following the death of Fatah official Ziad Abu Ein.

“This is a despicable action by Israel,” he said in a message posted on the president’s official website, Ynet reported.

“The incident is another example of Israel’s position regarding the Palestinian people, which is manifested by violence, occupation, and destruction,” read the message. “Turkey will continue to fight against Israel’s shocking, anti-humanitarian actions.”
