HH The Amir attends funeral ceremony of Ismail Haniyeh in Doha

Funeral ceremonies for Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh are currently happening in Qatar. The Palestinian armed group’s political chief, who was assassinated in Iran, will be buried at a cemetery in Lusail, Doha, following funeral prayers at the Imam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab mosque.

Thousands of people turned up for the prayers at the mosque, and the last rites are underway.

Qatar has hosted Hamas’s political bureau, with the support of USA, since 2012 following the group’s closure of its office in Damascus, Syria.

Haniyeh was playing a key role in talks for a potential ceasefire in Gaza and working with mediators Qatar in months-long negotiations alongside Egypt and the US.
