Khaled Abu Toameh Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Aug. 1, 2024 “Despite the Fatah-Hamas rivalry, Abbas and Haniyeh did not hesitate to meet or talk over the phone to discuss various issues, particularly ways of “reconciling” their rival parties.” At least two Palestinians have good reasons to be satisfied following the preemptive targeting of Ismail […]

Yaakov Lappin JNS, Aug. 1, 2024 “Israel is basically implementing here the Munich Olympics revenge [program] that took about a decade to assassinate all those who were involved in the Munich ’72 massacre.

Brendan O’Neill Spiked, July 31, 2024 “It was Haniyeh and his movement that ‘escalated’ tensions in the Middle East when they green-lighted the rape, kidnap and murder of more than a thousand people in Israel on 7 October. Assassinating the racist killers of Jews is not escalation – it’s justice.” Forget ‘centrist dads’, there’s […]
Daniel Pipes WSJ, July 31, 2024 “For nearly 10 months, Mr. Netanyahu equivocated between victory and hostages.” Israel followed two opposite policies toward Hamas since Oct. 7: destroy the organization and make a deal with it. This unfortunate two-track approach resulted in many costs to Israel. The killing of Ismail Haniyeh on Wednesday perhaps marks […]

Tobin JNS, July 31, 2024 “They should be pursued because the goal of Israel in this conflict should be to win it, rather than to merely survive another day while holding onto the vain hope that gentle reason, international mediation or concessions by Jerusalem will achieve peace. Peace may one day be […]
Debbie Weiss Algemeiner, July 31, 2024 “Yadlin pointed out that the assassination occurred in Iran rather than Qatar, emphasizing that the choice was likely made to avoid jeopardizing ongoing hostage negotiations.” The assassination of exiled Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has sent shock waves through the Palestinian terrorist organization and the broader Middle East but, on […]
Patrick Kingsley, Adam Rasgon, Farnaz Fassihi and Ronen Bergman NY Times, July 31, 2024 “Now, the focus is on how Hamas and Hezbollah will respond to the attacks on their leaders, how Iran will react to a strike within its territory and whether either reaction will lead to the outbreak of a wider war.” […]
Wilson Center, July 31, 2024 “The United States labeled him a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” in 2018.” Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of the exiled wing of Hamas and its chief negotiator on issues of war and peace, was assassinated on July 31 during a visit to Tehran for the inauguration of President Masoud […]
