The killing of Hamas boss Ismail Haniyeh - Long overdue!

I can hardly believe my eyes! 😀

Hamas’s top boss Ismail Haniyeh has been killed, in Iran, at his residence in Tehran.

Israel has not commented.

I think it’s obviously Israel. If so, very impressive work. Mossad was created to hunt down Nazis after WW2.

This is a win for Israelis & a win for Palestinians. This maniac could have stopped the war by returning the hostages and surrendering. Instead, he watched millions pay the price of war ... while he spent his days in his home in Qatar & Iran calling for innocent people in Gaza to suffer.

In one week, Israel took out Hezbollah’s second in command and the leader of Hamas. And in the capital of Israel’s greatest enemy ... and only hours after the presidential inauguration.

This is an important message to Iran and all Israel’s enemies.

Mossad were probably waiting for him to leave Qatar before killing him as he was under their protection and this would have been seen as a declaration of war. Since Israel is already at war with Iran, killing him in Tehran was a much safer option.

Iran has talked about “retaliation” over the assassination. 

Yet Iran thinks absolutely nothing of its terrorist proxies killing Israelis as the first initiating stance — for the sake of it — to end Israel. And others abroad — e.g. “Met police and MI5 foil 15 plots by Iran against British or UK-based ‘enemies’”. No matter what happens, Israel has to fight. If you don’t fight & just sit around, things become doubly worse. People talk about the killing of I.H. as a “serious escalation” — but the murdering of teenagers at a music festival was not?

I personally think this will speed up the ceasefire deal for two reasons:

1. There is no ceasefire where Hamas stays in power.
2. As Hamas gets worn down, they have less negotiating power ... and have to make more capitulations in order to get what they want. It is logical for Netanyahu to be adding more demands to the ceasefire negotiations.
