The assassination of Haniya, a crucial and key mediator for Hamas was a step too far for Netanyahu. Targeting a mediator for the other side, particularly in a sneak attack which violates the sovereignty of another country is considered a savage violation of any and all diplomatic rules as well as international law. This in the context of whispers that Israel assassinated Raisi, and objectively assassinated Sukar in Beirut. By the same actors who assassinated Soleimani. In the context of the Gaza genocide which primary targets the old, and women and children; the use of white phosphorus (US provided) on villages of Lebanon; and the sadistic and perverted treatment of prisoners as well any and all Palestinians - all these actions identify Israel (as well as their affiliates US/UK/EU) as irredeemable to civilized parlay.
Clearly, Blinkin, Sullivan, and Bibi are utilizing the demented, lame duck president as the goat for their actions. These actions reflect total desperation as they see that Russia/China and Iran are ever so slowly diplomatically through BRICS and BRICS partners, ASEAN, GCC and parts of Africa - encircling the hegemonic barbarians. who have fewer and fewer reliable allies as time passes. Be sure that Iran/Russia/China are talking, planning discrete actions - but no matter how hard US/UK/IS try to start World War III, they will be checked. Israel/US/EU can rage and storm, but they have established themselves well and truly as pariahs to the vast majority of the world, who are ever more closely linked politically, economically and diplomatically. Expect a reconfiguration of the UN, arrest warrants and under some as yet undefined body, very public trials for the atrocious war crimes visited on the Palestinians, as well as Druze and Lebanese.

Ismail Haniyeh – The Palestinian Refugee Who Became the Political Leader of Hamas

It would appear – that Tuesday’s assassination of a Hamas leader Ishmail Haniyeh has struck a chord across several West Asian countries – even more so as Mr Haniyeh was murdered in Iran while he was in the country, to witness the swearing in of the new Iranian President Pezeshkian.
The death of Ishmail Haniyeh may well yet galvanise factions in the region – that were once at odds with each other.
The attack occurred just days after Israel’s Premier Netanyahu visited Washington – did Netanyahu seek permission to kill Haniyeh? from Washington – I doubt it myself.
The assassination of Haniyeh – reminds me of the assassination of Iran’s General Soleimani by the Americans – in that Israel like the US has no qualms about murdering folk in third-party countries.
I think its very likely that a retaliatory strike against Israel is on the cards – no doubt (US) forces in the region are now on high alert as well.
