the, the business, the w news lies from bell in come on politically to is mail honey. a is killed in iran from us on the right in leadership site near was assassinated, and about his death will not go unpunished. both have blamed israel for the attack . on the i was one of israel, the top target in the wake of the type of assessment. terror attacks is a growing of a major escalation, as the world reacts to any, is dest israel staying silence? as regional leaders condemn his killing, iran says it is, it's duty. it is duty bound to avenge bahama,

because the menu is very welcome to the program. how much politically to is mile, honey? a has been killed into around come off, has accused israel of an assassination iran revolutionary god confirmed the death saying amelia and his bodyguard were killed in an attack on his residence in the arabian capital. so saw that has been no claim of responsibility. however, israel has in the cost of violence to kill honey and other hamas leaders off to the group. carried out the october the 7th terror attacks and some on this i am drawing now in the studio by d. w. at least on list shawnee road. rosanna is and we have konstantin got joining

us as well. he's a dw correspondence in jerusalem. constantine tell us what all we hearing from the is raggedy ann palestinian authorities right now as well from these various or it is in the morning and there was a comment from the defense ministry saying that they do not comment on foreign media reports about penny is uh uh, honey is killing bucks in the last few hours with her the, the prime minister netanyahu is cooling a security cabinet meeting in the coming hours quite very soon. i would say, uh, but there are no more comments from the is really government. although it's interesting that the on these really government websites are for a brief period, there was a picture photo of honey. it with the, with a stick off on his forehead saying illuminates a but then the picture disappeared from the website. there were also

a couple of twitter comments by the members of the class sets up by the these really parliaments. but these, like i said, it's a beep, non official, sort of a private opinions of elective politicians from the palace stands with her. there's as you said, the how mouse is, you know, has promised to avenge the death of nia. and that was a condemnation of the killing from the leader of the palestinian authority in the west bank and ramallah from on a bus. and that's what we know for now about the, the reaction from israel and from the palestinians. what's interesting though, is that the category of the prime minister, and we know that in kata countertop was very instrumental in arranging talks between israel and some also about hostages. so the category of prime minister said that the kidding of from you know, throws doubts on israel's desire to negotiate the fate of the hostages. and that was, as i said, from the country, the quote from the country from minnesota,

israel did not react to that. okay. shawnee could you tell us more about the circumstances of this killing, but we know he was in tehran for the integration of the new union president the to certain wanted to took place yesterday. he was a guest of yvonne and the original revolution regard. him as far as we know, for now he was sleeping in a, in a secured compound of the revolutionary guards, who was also, uh, the body guard was killed with him. was also, and you ran your revolution is like member at the more of fuel to the, you know, even in fury. and of course, this is, you know, the symbolism of taking out this theater, you know, such a high figure off how much on uranium. so in the heart of the you bring in capital that of course, puts you on in a very awkward position. of course, it's very embarrassing, you know, showing as well capability to infiltrate and operate in one of its most secure compounds. but also, of course, you know, i'm on a more and a much greater a scale of things. it puts the wrong, it is relevant direct clash course,

constantino content to you again. honey, of course played a critical role in the hostage negotiations. you mentioned that just now tell us more about what this means for the sci fi talks as well. it does seem that at least for the time being the ceasefire adults and any negotiations above the faith of the remaining is really hostages will be on hold. it's difficult to imagine torques now in this situation, plus it's not very clear who is going to conduct them because it seems that from us will have to elect to designate and you and your leadership. and as, as, as, as, as known. basically funny, it was the public face of how most others um, more in the shed. it was and more sort of involved in the military side of things and come on. so i do not think it will proceed any time soon. but of course, of no predictors of total collapse of anything in the middle east, very frequently proved drawing so that i was waiting to see. but again,

in the foreseeable future, it's very difficult to imagine anything happening on this track. we've been talking a lot about the fear of escalation. shawnee, what is rails and goal here? well, what, what is it we would see? you know, if we zoom out on the bed, you know, the tower has been to the american congress last week and what he said there is, but he needs more help to get the job done. he doesn't seem to be interested in bringing the war in gaza or on the regional front coming to an end. on the contrary, he wants to keep pushing forward, in a sense, a very clear message in lebanon, in the heart of a root. or if it's in there on no matter who you are. if you're not target list, we're going to get, you know, but where you are also. so it is really going to be very adamant to keep on fighting. and we were just mentioning that hostage deal. that's an jo believes that this is the way to bring back the hostages. he believes the pushing on and putting more pressure will bring to in our crumpling of those, you know, forces against the operate against israel, especially come us. and that will lead for more concessions that will on india and

bring the hostages home. of course it's talking to families, i think many of them today see this is a very bleak day with great concern to the lives of a 115. israel is to left in the gaza strip, understanding that this might have very dire consequences for their loved ones. fate shiny, rosanna, c, w. 's, middle east, i'm list, and konstantin get reporting from jerusalem. thank you both so much. you're welcome . i of the writing and government says a funeral for honey, a will be held into wrong before his body is taken to casa for burial. let's take a closer look now at who is male, honey was is male, him here was pictured along side rooms. you president, just hours before being assassinated. the 62 year old had been in to around for the integration, sir, on the name, on the lift gulf a several years ago, and ran him off his activities from kata where he lived in exile. he was born and

a refugee company against the city in 1962 and joined him. us and the late 19 eighties. honey arose through the ranks and went on to become the prime minister of the palestinian authority in 2006. a mouse named him, the group's lead in 2017, even after leaving the gaza strip. he acted as a groups political chief. a mass is deemed to be a terrorist organization by the e. u. us and numerous other countries. in april is riley strikes, some guys killed 3 of honey, his sons, and 4 of his grandchildren. according to him, us, at the time, i mean it insisted the dates with nose effect, ongoing c spy and hostage tool was despite tenea strong stuff. some diplomats regarded him as being more moderate than other hotline members of the group to

successor on the ground and gaza. yes, in what is deemed to be the person who orchestrated the october steven terror attacks on israel. it's not knowing what involvement honey ahead and organizing the attacks. we've a israel held him responsible and included him and a list of potential targets is going to bring in husband pollution. now he's a journalist who reported for us from inside garza now. he's in the cairo in egypt, and good see you has them. can you tell us what people in gauze telling you about this? how, how they react sing to honey is assassination. people and goals are divided into groups mainly. uh i, i've talked to many people on the ground in the morning and the most essential and important part for them is to end the work. um, there are some people who were shocked and as they didn't expect this to happen and

he will be killed. especially he use them in the exile and but still some of those workshops, especially those war favor off and if i think as well and what about reactions from us, what are you hearing the well, how much is, was the statements. we're very com, very staple. um, the more the, the leader of course of the form is for vinge and still not clear how that would work. and they are in indeed fighting with as well in garza. but i mean, how far the would they go, would they go outside gallons or not? and they would wait for the iranian response or, or any diplomatic mission. so i'm honest, wasn't clear and reachable on when they are going to doing that. is there any suggestion of how this killing might change the internal structure of a mass?

i mean, who might replace it? oh, wow, honey. uh he, uh, the 3 the beauties um, where or the, the leaders or the top leaders off the 3 main regions. y'all's, us tread westbank and abroad on the exile and the one in garza is the he of us and war. the one in, in the west bank was a side hillary who was estimated impaled before uh and trying to tell it much of the trial who was the phone though to be there or from us. and now he's the top leader of the apple computer. we're in abroad, so who is most likely according to the structure and who would be a replacement, but it's not different yet. it's not announced. and how that would affect it's not clear, honey is a symbolic leader. and for a long time, he was a prime minister, and he's and, and there are many people with the, you know, how to say that, that,

that they, they wouldn't do, they would think he was not replaceable. but officials and how most people i talked to earlier today, they said that the structural farmhouses is designed to be smooth of replacing anybody who whiskey was killed or, or, or, or, or less the movement from a palestinian perspective. how might this assassination impact the rule in dollars? and then you said earlier to the people in gauze or the biggest priority is to end this war. but how might this impact its progression? well it's, it's a bit lead to, to judge and, and to major. how that would impact the situation in gaza on the practical louisville in the fighting? uh, i don't think that would make any change because how much is using their maximum capacity of 5? i think on the ground, and they would keep going. i'm not sure or

a but i mean at reading the, the, the, the, the 9 months before the come us use the maximum that they could use. um, definitely, and that would affect the situation, especially on the ceasefire stokes. but um, on the, on the fire thing and the war, it's not clear, it's not the decision that made by honey a himself, as a leader would there to bill for a cease fire or not from us is a structure to be have the mitre wing who's in power and more powerful than the political leadership who's like mostly in the in approach. mm hm. can i ask you, um, i understand the political groups a calling for strikes in the west bank. i believe strikes all happening in protest against the killing of his male hon. the i'm how important of these strikes, what, what effects will they have? i believe it's more symbolic. this strikes, this is lake honey. a is a, is

a popular figure. as i mentioned that he was a prime minister. i'm us a has its own people on the ground in the west bank. the the, and there were some calls made by the little student, a 30 or official, especially as soon as chief and, and most not to play the, the posting in president. but i'm what advice cold color michelle morning. uh, how much for, for the of loss. so this is more like a symbolic and stab that taking by the fractions on the ground. i don't think that would make any change on the side for it or the situation in the west bank. it might, but i mean this strike is not gonna make a big difference, has an dilution or pushing from cairo as an thank you so much for insights. thank you. now is it just joining us the palestinian militant group? hamas says it's politically the is mile. mia has been assassinated in terra on.

here's what we know so far in a statement how my says nea was killed while on a visit to iran capsule, tyrone to attend the integration of president masoud possess. can aaron's revolutionary gone cool? has also confirmed his death. no. one has claimed responsibility for the assassination, but suspicion has full and on israel, which had vowed to kill him, the and of the leaders following the october, the 7th terrorist attacks israel has declined to comment on honey is death. but how most official says the group will respond to him. he is killing the official cool. that a quotes cowardly act that will not go unpunished. knee his desk comes off, the israel said it killed the top. has block amanda and strike on a sub of of a root in 11 on israel, blamed the group for an attack that killed the 12 children and teenagers in the is

ready occupied. go on heights on saturday, has blah denies responsibility for that. despite israel refusing to comment on the killing of is male honey. as a government press office released a photo on its facebook page of the hamas leader with the wood illuminated stumped across his forehead. the caption, red is male. hi mia. how i'm off. highest run, king leda was killed in a precise strike in tehran era. now about post has since been deleted. iran has officially responded to the death upon the and the statement carried on a rainy in the state media president, my sued, possess, can said, but iran will quotes defend its territorial integrity, dignity on a, on pride and will make the terrorist occupies regret. the cowardly act, as i tell you, we're going to move on to some of the developments in the is riley home off

conflicts and the us x ray of states. and some a blinking is said that the united states was not aware of or involved in the death of the home of lida is male. hi mia. he insisted that the faithful and gaza was the enduring imperative, as well as the release of hostages hosted. isn't bringing them businesses and rumble. i have a close the doors off to political groups and the westbank called for a general strike to protest the killing of is melania enter on palestinians factions also called for demonstrations across the occupied territory. and for confrontations with is ready soldiers, checkpoints, a report released by the un office on human rights as palestinians detained by israel since october. the 7th have been subjected to acts of torture and alleges was a boarding and electric shocks. it also says, as well as holding more than $9000.00 palestinians, some in secret without access to is the un human rights chief worker took said,

testimonies indicate a flagrant violation of international human rights and international humanitarian law. as well, and is dest comes ours off to another major development in the region? israel said it killed a top, has block amanda. in an, as strike on the lebanese castle, they route the run back. malicious said he was in the building at the time, but has not confirmed his face of the. it was a question of when not if israel would retaliate after a project of his, a soccer field in my spouse, jones in the golan heights and killed 12 children and teenagers. israel blamed has the law and warranted military group who would pay a heavy price. is raise response was a rare air strike on the outskirts of a roof. lebanon's health ministry said the attack killed at least one woman and 2

children, and wounded dozens. these really made the tree says the strike was targeted and killed the top has block commander to i'd sure for to cool was the right hand man to cross on the throttle face bowl as leader. and he's the advisor in planning and directing attacks and operations. the united states, the sugar orchestration of the 1983 bombing of the us marine barracks and bait roof, which killed $241.00 u. s. military personnel on the put a bounty of $5000000.00 on his head. he's been one of the groups leading military figures since it was established by rounds revolution regards more than the 4 decades ago after the israel. how much more bro guys in october 7 to cool was accused by his rarely being behind many of the drone and missed out of the tax that has block carrier divers against israel. if israel's claim proves true,

soccer will be the most senior has block commander to be killed since 2016. when most of a badger dean, the groups military commander in syria died in an explosion in damascus. the strike is threatened to escalate hostilities between israel and has the law as a time when tensions are already running. halls of the un is urging tom, fearful that the region could be on the brink of a wider war. okay, let's take a broad, a look at the middle east with simon maven, a professor of international politics at lancaster university in the u. k. good to see you again, simon. what have you heard? what are you expecting to here in the region today? i think it's open, pretty predictable is the sort of statements that we were expecting from from the radiant official was from the who the days from is by law from all the usual suspects. those being vocal condemnation. but there's also been condemnation of the

killing into fun by to key by cuts out on by others across the region with the suggestion that this poses a significant challenge to actually working towards peace in gaza. all of this was to be expected. i think we know that there is a great deal of worry about escalation, but there's also worried that this type of attack, these types of tit for tat escalations can get out of hand. so it's, it's entirely predictable that that would be these robust combinations. so would you say an escalation is now more likely in the middle east? it has been answering this question for the past 10 years. i think uh will that be an escalation? what about all the different moving parts of the various actors that are involved in various conflicts? and i think it's really work stressing the conflict is, is devastating. conflict will decimate the lives of people and the few states for

you act as i actually want that to be a conflict because of the, the costs involved. but the humanitarian costs, the political cost, the economic costs, and the costs to legitimacy of various factors being unbridled and more. so that being said, of course, history has shown us that even when we're in various states, so right just don't necessarily want to go to war. the events have a way of sort of capturing them and dragging them into conflict. so this is why it's such a precarious moment because even though it's by law that on and, and others don't necessarily want to go to war with israel, the situation is so precarious that they may be drawn into it is the situation remains on checked. israel has not yet taken responsibility for the killing of honey a. is the fact that israel isn't saying we did it? is that pulse of the choreography required to avoid massive

escalation? yeah, i think so because the, the narrative would very quickly be that as royal has struck within in rainy and so for an territory. and that could very easily be construed by those who wanted to ask the impact of war. so i think doing it in a way that is to some extent deniable, although you read between the lines and it's pretty clear who was, who is responsible, allows for the situation to be wrapped and framed in such a way that can avoid escalation. no, i'm not saying, but that is exactly what is happening here. but i think this, this reach for some form of plausible deniability is, is part of a broad, a strategy that come allow people to read into this and different ways. and just wanted to talk about the united states for a moment. us secretary of state antony blinking today said the us wasn't involved, was also one of the honey, a killing he focused on the need for

a ceasefire in gaza. is that by design? would you say as i think so, but i think it could also be emblematic as the broad attentions that have been emerging between the us and israel. and i think we've seen a lot of those tensions started to emerge. we know that color harris has been speaking incredibly strongly about the need for a ceasefire. and so perhaps mr. nothing young who is realizing, but he doesn't quite have the same level of support in washington that he wants to bid at least, and it's core and full. so i think right now there are, there are definitely tensions between the 2 bodies. the us was serious about actually achieving us these why it could be doing a great deal more and putting a great deal more pressure on miss than nothing yahoo and as well more broadly to achieve the ceasefire, which is absolutely essential. and working towards that,

the escalation of the region getting that c spy is power mount and absolutely essential. thinking again about the possibility of escalation. would any one benefits from grace or conflict, or will as well well as devastating, brutal, catastrophic as the people of gauze. i have enjoyed over these past few months as this re lease. i've enjoyed in all the times as well. of course. war is dental and not respect. no one thrives, no one benefits in terms of who might benefit politically. of course, there are those who might, derives some full political capital, political legitimacy out of being seen to be embroiled in a conflict of defending palestinian rights, defending arabian territorial integrity, or standing up as part of a quote and quote, access of resistance. so there are, of course,

people who could benefit on these, where you side of costs. the continuation of the conflict allows mister netanyahu to retain his, his political position, some say that his political career will be over warmer, this war ends. so there are, of course people who would benefit, but i would just remind everyone that it's the origin we people up the region, the people of cause of the people of less than on the people of around the people of syria, the people of iraq, the people of young and the people of jordan who have been enjoying this violent instability for decades now, and who are at the risk of a wider escalation. they are the ones who would be paying the most devastating price. absolutely. simon, naval and iran and the middle east ex but simon, thank you so much for your insights and your time. thank you. this is a reminder of our top story today. how mouse has accused israel of assassinating that political leda is now money in toronto. iran,

revolutionary. god has confirmed the death saying honey and his bodyguards were killed in an attack of his residence in the rainy and capitol. so far as being no claim or responsibility. however, israel has in the past vouch to kill him in all the leaders of the mask off to the group carried out the center of the
