Mourners bury Hamas chief Haniyeh in Qatar as more escalation looms over the Middle East

LA Times  

An image from video shows the coffin of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh being carried out after funeral prayers in Doha, Qatar, on Friday. Thousands of mourners converged around the flag-draped coffin of Hamas’ slain political chief, Ismail Haniyeh, in the emirate of Qatar on Friday as the fallout surged from his death in an alleged Israeli attack. Pakistan and Turkey lowered their flags to half-staff, prompting Israel to summon Turkey’s deputy ambassador for a “stern reprimand.” Turkey’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oncu Keceli countered that Israel “cannot achieve peace by killing the negotiators” — a reference to Haniyeh’s role in the cease-fire talks — while hundreds of Turks gathered at the historic Hagia Sophia to pay tribute to the slain Hamas leader as his funeral got underway in Doha. But Israelis and Lebanese were bracing for more after Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Thursday declared that Shukr’s assassination in the southern suburbs of Beirut had pushed the war into a “new phase.” From contested Jerusalem, Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, the imam of Al Aqsa Mosque, mentioned “the martyr Ismail Haniyeh” in his weekly sermon to the thousands of Palestinian worshipers who had come to Friday prayers. Tor Wennesland, the United Nations special coordinator for the Mideast peace process, said he was racing to work with Lebanon, Qatar, Egypt and other nations to “prevent a spillover of the conflict.” U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey and Foreign Secretary David Lammy visited Israel on Friday “to push for an immediate cease-fire,” while Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said he spoke with his American counterpart, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III.
