Montenegrin police arrested the second-in-command of Palestine’s ambassador to that country following a call from the ambassador in which he claimed that his deputy has sided with Hamas in the Gaza conflict, apparently supported by video evidence of said deputy’s position circulating on the “X” social media platform.
In a flagrant violation of international law and diplomatic norms, the police stormed the embassy upon obtaining permission from the ambassador, and subsequently detained the deputy.
Rumors have indicated that the ambassador and the arrested deputy are not on good terms, which led the former to export their conflict outside the embassy and to involve other parties, thereby explaining his motive to turn in his right-hand man.
