How Ismail Haniyeh’s killing may weaken Hamas but not its ideology

Firstpost  

The killing is a setback for Hamas, but its ideology will only get strengthened if violence continues Haniyeh was born in 1962 in the Shati refugee camp north of Gaza City to Palestinian parents who, in 1948, had been displaced from their home in Ashkelon, now in Israel. “The residence of Ismail Haniyeh, Head of the political office of Hamas Islamic Resistance, was hit in Tehran,” as per a statement by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Sepah news website. “You have to be steadfast, and you have to be ready for revenge.” Haniyeh was appointed Palestinian Prime Minister in 2006 by President Mahmoud Abbas after Hamas won the most seats in national elections, but was dismissed a year later after the group ousted Abbas’ Fatah party from the Gaza Strip in a week of deadly violence. But Haniyeh, noting that he’d already lost dozens of family members in the war, had said, “We shall not give in, no matter the sacrifices.” Other Palestinian Leaders The other important Hamas leaders include Yahya Sinwar, the leader of the Hamas movement within the Gaza Strip, who was born in 1962. It’s an escalation by and that’s going to have significant ramifications.” On the other hand, Lord Peter Ricketts, the UK’s former National Security Adviser, has stated that Haniyeh’s assassination is “a very powerful demonstration of Israel’s ability to reach out right across the region.” He said it gives Israel the “political room to begin now to wind down the operation in Gaza because he can now say he has really delivered a major blow against Haniyeh’s leadership.” But Ricketts also says it “remains a very dangerous time in the Middle East”, as Hamas is now unlikely to want to settle in ceasefire talks.
