Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh is set to be buried today in Qatar following his assassination in Tehran, which has heightened concerns of a potential escalation in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group in Gaza.
US President Joe Biden has expressed unease over the situation, stating that the killing of Haniyeh has not aided efforts to secure a ceasefire deal. The escalating tensions have also raised fears of retaliation from Iran, where Haniyeh was killed.
