I believe the Palestinians' faith in Ismail Haniyeh was misplaced.
If all the hostages that Hamas holds were released, there would be a ceasefire. That could have happened anytime in the last nine-plus months. If Haniyeh was the guy who could have decided to release the hostages, he certainly was in no hurry to do so. Of course Haniyeh was not in Gaza, he was safely ensconced elsewhere in the middle east...or so he thought. ---CA
Rallies take place in several cities with demonstrators pledging the fight for freedom will continue.
In Deir el-Balah, in central Gaza, Palestinians mourning the killing of Haniyeh said the assassination would complicate efforts to reach a ceasefire deal.
“This man could have signed the prisoner exchange deal with the Israelis,” Saleh al-Shannar, who was displaced from his home in northern Gaza, told The AP. “Why did they kill him? They killed peace, not Ismail Haniyeh.”
Nour Abu Salam, a displaced woman, said the killing shows that Israel does not want to end the war and establish peace in the region. “By assassinating Haniyeh, they are destroying everything,” she said.
