Haniyeh the Martyr Whoever sows winds reaps storms

In the midst of the so-called Olympic Truce, the murderous attack on Ismail Haniya in Tehran is an overreach by Israel and a violation of the unwritten laws of war engagement. The rationale behind the attack is the same as Israel’s unprovoked attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus last April while combining elements from the assassinations of Yassin, Radisi, Faisal Huseini, Soleimani and Fakhrizadeh.

Aiming with the said strike to escalate the war and undermine the unity, prestige and credibility of the pro-Palestinian alliance in the Middle East, as well as the sense of security among the members of the alliance, they are expected to achieve the exact opposite. History has shown that such blows steel the minds of those affected whose response is a matter of time.

Haniya will now be even more popular as a Martyr and a symbol of sacrifice and resistance. The unity of the Palestinians and the Front for Liberation is tested and durable.

Escalation of war will come but not in the way Tel Aviv seeks. The response of the Pro-Palestinian Front will be measured, punitive and sharp, but it will not be reckless and sharp, because this is what Tel Aviv seeks to get out of the quicksand of Gaza by involving the USA and humanity in a global conflict.

Fireworks expected soon ….
