Der Spiegel reports, citing the results of an investigation by the London Dossier Center, that the letter was received on May 23 from the ahmed_yurlanov1988 @ protonmail email account at 12:57 pm.

In a letter received from Switzerland, as later reported by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, the author calls himself a representative of Hamas and threatens to blow up the plane if Western countries do not stop supporting Israel.

“We Hamas soldiers demand that Israel cease fire in the Gaza Strip. We demand that the European Union renounce its support for Israel in this war. Delfi Economic Forum participants are known to return home on flight 4978. A bomb is planted in this plane. do not fulfill our demands, the bomb will explode on May 23 over Vilnius", - the message said. Hamas later denied any involvement in the letter. The movement strongly condemned the attempt by the Belarusian president to shift responsibility for the forced landing of the Ryanair plane to Hamas.

Let us remind you that the plane of the Ryanair airline was forcibly landed at the Minsk airport on May 23. On board was the wanted opposition figure, ex-chief editor of NEXTA Roman Protasevich. He was detained on charges of organizing mass protests after the August 9 presidential elections.
