The burial ceremony for Hamas’s political leader, Ismail Haniyeh – who was assassinated in Iran on Wednesday – is under way in Qatar.
Funeral prayers for Haniyeh will take place at the Imam Muhammed bin Abdul Wahhab mosque – the largest in Qatar – before he is buried at a cemetery in Lusail, a city north of Doha.
Haniyeh was killed during a visit to Iran’s capital. Iran and its allies have blamed Israel, though Israel has not claimed responsibility for his death.
US President Joe Biden has said that the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh “doesn’t help” talks over a potential ceasefire in Gaza.
