Philippine Ambassador to the United Kingdom Teodoro Locsin Jr. on Sunday, Oct. 22, apologized for his now-deleted &ldquo;sarcasting response&rdquo; stating that Palestinian children &ldquo;should be killed&rdquo;
&ldquo;I immediately deleted my sarcastic response to a tweet as I realized it could be misconstrued and retweeted to incite. My apologies to those who did misconstrue my sentiments and did in fact get triggered,&rdquo; he said.
Locsin also claimed that he did not call for the &ldquo;literal death&rdquo; of anyone but simply to halt ideologies that would accept terrorism.&nbsp;
&ldquo;I obviously was not advocating for the literal death of anyone, but rather simply for the end of any ideology that condones terrorism in any way, shape or form,&rdquo; he added.&nbsp;
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) earlier stated that it <a href="https://dzrh.com.ph/post/dfa-on-locsin's-tweet-re:-palestinian-children">disassociated</a> itself from the former foreign secretary over the latter&rsquo;s post.&nbsp;
