West Asia on the brink, West needs to step in

Hindustan Times  

Israel has torpedoed whatever feeble chances there were of a ceasefire in West Asia, by killing Hamas politburo chief, Ismail Haniyeh. People protest following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran, near the Israeli embassy in Amman, Jordan July 31, 2024. This made a carefully calculated response by Iran, as was the case in April when Israel killed one of its military commanders in Syria, quite unlikely. Just hours before killing Haniyeh, Israel killed Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut.
