the head of hamas inside gaza.sasination. well, i've have seen the reports and all i can tell you right now as i think nothing takes away from the importance of, as i said a moment ago, getting to the ceasefire, which is in the interests of the hostages and bringing them home, it is manifestly in the interests of the palestinians who are suffering terribly every single day. children, women, men, in gaza who have been caught in this crossfire of hamas �*s making. it is profoundly in the interest of trying to put things on a better path, not only in gaza but actually throughout the reason because so much is tied to what is happening in gaza right now. we have been working from day one not only to try to get to a better place in gaza, but also to prevent the conflict from spreading, whether it is in the north with lebanon and hezbollah, or in the red sea, or iran, syria, iraq you name it. a big key to trying to make sure that that does not happen, and that we can move to a better place, is getting the ceasefire. i am

what has been the reaction from hamas? very strong rhetoric, | from hamas?rong rhetoric, the said from hamas? very strong rhetoric, they said this _ from hamas? very strong rhetoric, they said this is _ from hamas? very strong rhetoric, they said this is a _ from hamas? very strong rhetoric, they said this is a zionist _ from hamas? very strong rhetoric, they said this is a zionist crime - they said this is a zionist crime that will not go unpunished, they have said that it would strengthen their resolve and there own determination to continue fighting the occupation and they are said it would strengthen the determination of others who are doing so. those of the references to the iran—backed groups like hezbollah and the houthis. that has been their response to the killing. that they have meanwhile been organising the funeral which will take place tomorrow in iran, an official funeral, then it will continue in qatar where you will have more popular representation, which is where mr haniyeh will be buried because that is where he had been living. then there w

what happened to hamas movement he was one of the moderate leaders of hamas.hanged, especially the military coup in 2007. >> i think that now when we are taking hamas leader we shaped it and designated the u.s. >> after october 7. hamas leader a war crimes, or war criminals what they've been doing what they have been done this is, i think israel must act against the hamas leader about, i think that today when i've heard that ismail haniyeh was assassinated it clipped me. think that we've been left with the extremist leaders of hamas, like if you've sinwar and all other the military group. but again, in israel decided to assassinate its melania in tehran this is a message, a message to all hamas leaders no more, no more taking israelis normal taking hostages, and no more murders, killing civilians in israel well, thanks for joining us for seen and used. >> remind me the kincaid, becky anderson will pick up our breaking news coverage from london then after short break, stay with us, you watching cnn all my life i haven't done it. >> to my house. on the round som

in hamas.as is anywhere near being degraded, even eliminated, in gaza? before that, stephen, i think maybe you and the bbc and others think that it all started on 7 october... i didn't say it all started on october 7. there's no way i would ever say that. this whole situation is... it's a conflict that i'm very well aware has lasted for many decades. this is a situation of extermination, and the extermination has been lasting for a long time. extermination in 1917 here and the cancellation of our people. extermination in i9li8 and the ethnic cleansing of two—thirds of our people. extermination by the occupation, the colonial occupation since 1967 and the state of apartheid, and now genocide. to reduce it... context is important. no, no, no, it's not important. context is everything. i used my words very carefully. i said this "round" of conflict was triggered by the hamas attack on southern israel on october 7. nobody, i think, can dispute that. so the question now for you — as somebody who is

, they're not willing to go to all out war for hamas. and that has been a very fine line to walk for them. remember, in 2020 a strike targeted the commander of the quds force qassem soleimani in iraq and the iranian response wasn't what, what we expected it to be. it's been an a non-response, so far. >> so it really depends on what iran thinks is in its best interests today. does it want, does iran want a full out war? >> i don't think so. if they don't want a full-on war, how are they going to respond to this assassination on iranian soil in such a way that it can be contained and they don't look like the ones to ignite the region further fascinating. >> well we will obviously continue to follow this in the hours to come as always, good to have you on. kim. kim ghattas is in in beirut with expert analysis from there or more on our breaking news in a moment, hamas says it's political leader has been assassinated in tehran. same cnn newsroom monday, i'm so excited to be here in indonesia this is going to be your future room. it looks like

hamas shattered peace.6 years, there's been no troop ease for the palestinian people -- true piece for the palestinian people. they have lived in an open-air prison where they have been subjected to calorie restricted diet, to sanctions, blockade, regular airstrikes by the israeli military, a tactic that israel calls mowing the lawn. and prior to october 7, you had a number of factors at play. the primary motivation hamas members told me to try to shatter the status quo on gaza. they felt the situation was becoming untenable. israel's strategy of collective punishment was aimed at trying to force local people in gaza to rise up against hamas. indeed, there were indications in public opinion polling that people were growing increasingly frustrated with hamas, which is not just an armed resistance movement, but also with governing authority. it was beyond just the horrifying conditions in gaza and a sense of hopelessness. under president trump come the u.s. issued diplomatic agreements the referred to as the

he said apply that to hamas. hamas, let our people go. so it's not the prime minister that is holding hostage these americans. it is hamas that's holding them hostage. so i know there's a level of frustration with the war in general coming from the families, but we need to remember our anchor needs to be directed at hamas who murdered and raped innocent civilians. they are the ones that drug the bodies, because we now know that some of these hostages were killed at the music festival. their bodies were drug into gaza already deceased. they need to come home. we know that. but it's hamas that is holding them. one more. [inaudible question] >> i think that the hotel should be very upset about that. and that's not a good discourse. so i think what they're doing is solving their name. those who want to protested to do so in a manner whether working towards a goal, and that to me is not constructive in working towards whatever they call happens to be today. i mean, if it's to play childish antics, then they have succeeded. but we need to have

in gaza by hamas. let's go to cnn's paula hancocks live in abu dhabi. paula, what more do you know? >> well, laura, this is a very significant development, is male honey av political leader of hamas, killed in tehran. this according to the islamic revolutionary guard corps, it's been confirmed as well by a hamas statement saying that he was killed in a residence in the iranian capital as he was in town for the inauguration of the new iranian leader. now we know that that inauguration of iran's new president was on tuesday. we don't have an exact timing of when this killing took place. but it was the early hours of wednesday when the news emerged. now, it is a significant development. we have heard, as you say, that israel is saying it does not comment on foreign news media reports, not an unexpected response from the idf. it is one we have heard before when we've been these reports of high profile killings in other countries of hamas or even hezbollah leaders but everyone in the region does believe tha

hamas is a relatively — negotiate with? hamas is a relatively institutionalised i negotiate with?onalised group so he's not the only leader. there is a connective leadership and decisions are usually taken collectively so his replacement has been named already, the man who was the previous leader of hamas. hamas is the north leaders to continue negotiations was dropping the main question mark is what israel is going to do now. is going to go through negotiations, where they try to retaliate before continuing negotiations? this is the question stopping negotiations? this is the question stomin ., �*, negotiations? this is the question stoninu . �*, ,., . negotiations? this is the question stoming . �*, ,., . stopping what's your instance? i think hamas _ stopping what's your instance? i think hamas does _ stopping what's your instance? i think hamas does not _ stopping what's your instance? i think hamas does not have - stopping what's your instance? i think hamas does not have an i think hamas does not have an interest —— has an interest in posing negotiations which are not leadin

"hamas is an idea. "hamas is a political party. "it is rooted in people's hearts."ing hamas, but your pursuit of absolute elimination, they say, is impossible. tell me, is nazism an idea? stephen, is nazism — is an idea? it's a simple question. what do you think, what is your answer to that? are you asking me, or are you asking the israeli military? i'm asking you! because i'm telling you what the israeli military is saying. ok, i don't have to agree with everything people are saying. i'm asking you if nazism is an idea. you can pose questions like that to me. what is your response? your problem, if i may say so, ohad tal, is that the israeli your problem, if i may say so, ohad tal, is that the israeli public, in the most recent poll from the times of israel, 60% saying they want a ceasefire deal and return of hostages now. we have quotes like the one i've just given you from the military chief spokesman, saying that hamas cannot be made to disappear... i'll tell you, stephen... it seems to many israelis your position is one... i will tell you a couple of things. ..

they know that iran respects hamas very much. how much the people of iran love esmee, so it comes to the point of ismail haniyeh to turn the eyes of the communities in the media debate, that iran , who claimed that it was exactly us in the country that we used esmee , will somehow create a difference between hamas, palestine and iran. tell yourself about the testimony of the head of the political bureau of the hamas movement and why do you think the zionist regime has committed this insane terrorist act at this point in time. in the heavenly book, he says , "do not kill yourself. killing others is actually killing oneself. it is destroying oneself . you see, it means killing one person, another person, even though be it a non-muslim, wherever he is a muslim, if he kills someone, god almighty wants you to kill yourself . for what lives do you have in this world or in the afterlife, if you have a life in this world , you will be tried by the government of justice and you will be retaliated. you are under the rule of almighty god, d

to target the leaders of hamas.rt from killing one senior figure in beirut earlier this year, it hadn't really managed to get to the top leadership, the masterminds of the 7th of october attacks in gaza, as far as we know. in particular, it hasn't been able to reach the hamas leader there argar software. haniyeh is someone who spent years living in exile, he is from the gaza strip and comes from a family of palestinian refugees stop ring for the last few years, is mainly based himself between qatar and turkey, has been able to do the national diplomacy on the part of hamas, travelling around the region are frequently going to iran since the start of this war. where just enter your been asking iran to get more involved directly in the war in gaza but it had rejected that idea in the past. gaza but it had re'ected that idea in the past.— gaza but it had re'ected that idea in the pest.— in the past. when it comes to a ceasefire _ in the past. when it comes to a ceasefire deal, _ in the past. when it comes to a ceasefir

he said, apply that to hamas. hamas, let our people go. so, it's not the prime minister that is holding hostage these americans. may be its hamas that's holding them hostage. so, i know there's a level of frustration with the war in general coming from the families. but we need to remember our anger needs to be directed at hamas, who murdered and raped innocent civilians. they are the ones that drug the bodies because we now know that some of these hostages were killed at their key booths at the music festival. their bodies work drug -- were drug into gaza already deceased. they need to come home. we know that. but it's hamas that is holding them. >> one more question. one more. thank you. >> [indiscernible] any reaction to that, sort of the rhetoric? >> right. i think that the hotel should be very upset about that and that's not a good discourse. so, i think what they are doing is selling their name -- s ullying their name. those who protest need to work in a manner where they are working towards a goal. if it is to -- if their goal is to

i am sure that hamas will be a heavy answer this week or next week. he will retaliate and he did this. in my opinion, both hezbollah and hamas need to agree on something . this incident also happened today or 5 days ago in lebanon, and it is also the case that now the main pillar and the main body is really someone who sincerely supported the ceasefire for the greatness of palestine. he was trying to get martyred. in my opinion , we will definitely see this happen in the next week, and in my opinion and this point, in the media, some elite experts do not talk about iran's response and let everything take its course. . and let the people who are experts in this work comment on some of the statements and media can make the public opinion pessimistic, or as a rule, such measures should be measured in different dimensions, but the point is that the resistance of hamas and hezbollah is natural, that they themselves react. they will show and deal with this issue. thank you very much for your presence your participation and explanations, mr. alipour, as well

what exactly is the opposition of hamas? look, hamas had a condition a few years ago. the first condition was that the war must end. this current war must be stopped. the negotiations will continue, and in the third stage, the war should be completely ended , and the first stage should be stopped. the next condition was that the israelis would leave gaza completely , and in the first stage, they would leave the cities , and in the second stage, they would leave the entire strip. get out of gaza the next precondition was that humanitarian cargoes should be allowed to enter again , not like it is now, and a limited number of trucks should be allowed to enter. from this now, especially in the field of infrastructure, they have started to come along with it, but not as a precondition, to put forward that if this agreement is to be carried out , other parties must guarantee us, for example, the united states, turkey, egypt , qatar, they must guarantee that israel will attack again. don't try to hit him on the head again he wants to start a war again , he emphasized this and

hamas, during the leadership of mr. israeli intelligence organization should not break the reputation of the legend of israel's invincibility, not only in this battle of al-aqsa and your storm, the 22-day war, the 8-day war, the 11 -day war, the 51-day war, under his leadership, they received very big blows from this man. and their idea is that according to him, he can actually reduce the effort of hamas, so to speak, now, in my opinion, it is more. more than this, it will be a regional cooperation , it will be like-minded for hamas and sunnis they are actually doing something now. that when no one is sorry for the loss of life, and this is a very big possibility, it means giving the possibility to their opponents that any action they take against them will be seen as legitimate for everyone, and this is very big . at the time of stating that the international courts recognize his killer as a defendant, even the israeli court recognizes mr. tani as a defendant , this is to destroy him at this time, which means that you

, larger than hamas-— force with a huge arsenal, larger than hamas. , ., , ., , than hamas.ike deep in israel so any major conflict in israel so any major conflict in israel would be felt by the population in israel because these rockets and missiles would overwhelm israel's sophisticated systems. attacks in weeks recently have been more sophisticated. attack drones. sophisticated weapons. again, there is a fear that any escalation could lead to a major conflict between israel and hezbollah. and this could have catastrophic consequences for israel and lebanon. there was widespread destruction in southern beirut and south of lebanon in 2006 when there was a war between israel and hezbollah. the fear in lebanon is with these attacks, hezbollah is dragging lebanon into another conflict. in israel, including members of benjamin netanyahu's coalition are in favour of a military operation against hezbollah and say the situation is unsustainable and want to push hezbollah away from the border. they say the resolution of that put an end to the war in 2006, that hezbollah moved away

he joined hamas in the late 1980s during the first intifada. and the rose through the ranks, becoming the group's political chief in 2017. and soon after he was named a specially designated global terrorist by the u.s. cnn's paula hancocks joins us now, live from abu dhabi, despite all of that, he was seen as someone that the international community could work with. what's been the loss to the diplomacy here for her mass well, max, he was certainly the most visible hamas leader since the october 7 attacks. we have been seeing him carrying out to indirect negotiations with israel since then. when it comes to these hostage ceasefire talks and he has been very key when it comes to speaking to the two key mediators, qatar and egypt was based in doha, qatar for some years and really did have appear to have the freedom to be able to move around the region at will. he has been out of the gaza strip for some time so within the gaza strip if itself it is known that yahya sinwar is the main leader he is the one who israel believes is currently hiding in

for hamas, it's a strategy. they want palestinian civilians to die so israel will be smeared in international media and be pressured to end the war before its won. this would enable and as they vod october 7 again and again and again. i want to assure you, no what pressure is brought to bear, i will never allow that to happen. the vast majority of americans have not fallen for this hamas propaganda and continue to support israel. and i want to say thank you america, and senators and house members who continue to support israel, continue to support the truth and see through the lies. but as for the minority, that may have fallen to hamas. i suggest you listen to colonel john spencer. he is head of urban warfare studies at west point and studied every conflict in history. israel, he said has implemented more precautions to prevent civilian harm than any military in history and beyond what international law requires. that's why despite all the lies you've heard, the war in gaza has one of the lowest ratios of comba

the statement of hamas stated that the head of the political office of hamas was martyred in a cowardly terrorist attack at his residence in tehran. musa abu marzouk is one of the members. the political office of hamas also reacted to the assassination of ismail haniyeh he called the assassination cowardice and emphasized: haniyeh's assassination will not go unanswered. sami abu zohari, one of the leaders of hamas, said that the palestinian resistance has entered into a full-scale war for the liberation of jerusalem and is ready to pay any price. at the same time, calling for a nationwide strike and intensifying activities against the zionist regime in in a statement, the palestinian authority condemned the assassination of ismail haniyeh, the head of the political office of hamas, and described it as a cowardly act and a dangerous development. yemen's ansarullah movement considered the assassination of ismail haniyeh a terrorist crime and a clear violation of the law. the spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs of our country shahadat ismail haniyeh. the great proud nation of pale

haniyeh took important responsibilities there and was appointed as the leader of hamas . during the 22-day war, the leader of hamas was in the gaza strip , the position that mr. yahya s. sinwar holds today, and he and his family did their best to defend palestine. in the end, you saw his children martyred in the last few months they arrived today. after a lifetime of fighting , he was martyred, and i believe that the most outstanding aspect of his life was his serious belief in islam to liberate al-aqsa mosque from the zionists, and this belief of his and other hamas fighters in islamic thought happened to work, that is, the thought of nationalism could not be a meter from. to liberate palestine from the land , but the thinking of hamas made gaza free , and the resistance that was suppressed by the zionists gained power. today, 10 months have passed since the gaza strip was the target of the zionist attacks, but they could not achieve their goals, and the resistance is a dynamic resistance. strong resistance is a rooted resistance, and this resistance, god willing, until

ismail haniyeh, the political leader of hamas, was killed.he name of the head of the political bureau hamas was repeated many times by the world media. they headlined the news of his martyrdom. in the last 20 years. they tried to assassinate haniyeh several more times in 2003, 2006 and 2014, but all failed. ismail haniyeh was imprisoned three times by the zionist regime between 1987 and 1989. the last rain was 3 years and andy was in prison for being a member of hamas. when he was released, he was the president of the islamic university of gaza. our decision is to kneel before god only. yes, we are a people who love death as our enemies love to live, we love martyrdom as our leaders were martyred. ismail haniyeh is now martyred himself, like 60 other members of his family, like nearly 40,000 other palestinians who were martyred after al-akhsa storm, and this photo. the hands of the youths of ashati camp, where martyr haniyeh was born, have become a symbol for the struggle , which may be the final news of the liberation of jerusalem. mohammad

judea samaria will say: "okay, we are ready, we are ready to be friends with hamas." well, they were friends with hamas once, after that there was no one left there, they were all killed simply in the gaza sector, as they are between, that is, it is already wound up here, there is israel, there is palestine, there are in palestine, and they are antagonists, in palestine there is fad, hamas. and they are antagonists, and just here i just have a hard time imagining any, even roads to peace, you are absolutely right, because that is how it is, because it is very difficult to agree between those between those people who let's put it this way, they know arabic, but they speak completely different languages, there is nothing to discuss here, because that's the way it is, and again, what continues, what continues, that... the israel defense forces enters from time to time in the gaza strip and clashes are taking place there, and hamas is there again for a week or two and is again shelling the territory of the territory of israel, of course they were, and god forbid, maybe th

hamas does not explain. the iranian media say the attack was carried out at around two in the morning local time. there were other reports that haniya was killed in an airstrike, that he was in a rest home for war veterans. there are no exact details of the death of khania yet. but both hamas and iran blame israel for the murder, which so far has not publicly commented on the murder. however, the death of hania shocked not only palestinians, but also some israelis, whose relatives are still missing. in captivity hamas fighters in the gaza strip, because it was hani who was responsible for negotiations about the prisoners. state media report an assassination attempt on the leader of hamas in the capital of iran. high-ranking guest ismail haniya, along with leaders of other regional armed groups supported by iran, attended the inauguration of the country's new president in tehran. it was. his last public appearance. the news of the killing shocked many palestinians in gaza, as it is now uncertain what the cons
