Hamas, the Palestinian group that governs Gaza, has accused Israel of being behind the assassination of its political chief, Ismail Haniyeh. Haniyeh was killed in Tehran, Iran, where he was attending the inauguration of the new Iranian president. In a statement, Hamas mourned the loss of Haniyeh, describing him as a “martyr” and a “leader” of the Palestinian people. The group condemned what they called a “treacherous Zionist raid” on his residence. Israel has not commented on the accusation.
The assassination of Haniyeh has sparked outrage among Palestinians and heightened tensions in the region. Haniyeh was known for his role in Hamas and his strong stance against Israel. His death has left many Palestinians mourning the loss of a key figure in their struggle for independence.
Hamas has called for justice and vowed to continue its fight against Israel. The group has a history of conflict with Israel, including multiple wars and ongoing tensions. The killing of Haniyeh is likely to further strain the already fragile relationship between the two sides.
The international community has called for an investigation into Haniyeh’s assassination and for calm in the region. The United Nations has expressed concern over the escalation of violence and called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The assassination of Haniyeh is a reminder of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine and the need for a lasting solution to the decades-long conflict.
