Protesters across cities from Pakistan to Lebanon are condemning the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Haniyeh was assassinated in Iran after attending the inauguration of the country’s new president, sparking suspicions of Israeli involvement due to previous threats against him. Public demonstrations in Ramallah, Tehran, and Tyre saw hundreds of people showing support for Hamas, carrying flags and chanting slogans against Israel and the US. Hamas spokesperson Jihad Taha condemned the “Zionist occupation” and expressed confidence in the Palestinian people’s resilience. In Pakistan, protests were organized in Karachi by religious political parties, with participants expressing solidarity with the Palestinian cause and calling for an end to the ongoing conflict. The protests come as international mediators work to facilitate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, aiming to end the violence in Gaza and secure the release of hostages. The situation remains tense, with diplomatic efforts ongoing to de-escalate the situation and bring about a peaceful resolution. The demonstrations highlight the widespread support for Palestinians and the condemnation of violence and aggression against their leaders.
