Hamas has issued a stern response to the assassination of its political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, vowing to take action and “pay various prices” in the aftermath of his killing. Musa Abu Marzouk, a member of the group’s political bureau, condemned the assassination as a “cowardly act” and promised that it “will not pass in vain.”
Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas official, echoed Marzouk’s sentiments, stating that the group is “engaged in an open war to liberate Jerusalem and we are ready to pay various prices.” This statement suggests that Hamas is prepared to escalate its conflict with Israel and potentially launch retaliatory attacks.
The assassination of Ismail Haniyeh has sparked tensions in the region, and Hamas’s response indicates that the group is determined to avenge his death. The situation is likely to escalate, and international attention is focused on the potential consequences of Haniyeh’s killing.
