Gaza ceasefire talks in doubt after Hamas leader killed in Iran | BBC News

Iran has vowed to avenge the killing of Hamas’s political leader Ismail Haniyeh, who died in an overnight air strike in Tehran, according to Iranian media.

Hamas and Iran blame Israel for the strike - Israel hasn’t commented but has previously vowed to eliminate the group’s leaders.

The killing, which came just hours after an Israeli strike on a Hezbollah commander in Lebanon, has heightened fears of wider conflict in the Middle East.

It could also delay efforts to bring a ceasefire in Gaza, as Haniyeh was a key player in negotiations.

Shame on the state broadcaster @BBC. Describing this animal as 'moderate' is absolutely disgraceful. What have you become ?

[markmierzejewski]

Why? Gaza is not Iran. Do the people of Gaza want to talk for themselves or have Iran talk for them?

[sbrave]

It's not as if there was going to be a ceasefire anytime soon anyway....
