NY Post readers discuss the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in the Iranian capital.
The Issue: The assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in the Iranian capital.
Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’ political leader, has been assassinated in Iran’s capital Tehran presumably by Israel (“Hamas big slain,” July 31).
In the aftermath of the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre, Israel promised that Hamas leaders were essentially dead men walking.
The IDF has now made another payment on that account.
Certain media outlets were not long in beginning to criticize Israel, about how this might disrupt hostage negotiations or cause the outbreak of regional hostilities in the Middle East.
Utter balderdash.
On Oct. 7 of last year, Haniyeh was alive, but he did not prevent Hamas from seizing Israeli hostages and murdering Israeli civilians.
The massacre saw the start of a multifront war against Israel’s existence by terrorists and countries all across the region.
The stakes are higher than ever.

I congratulate Israel for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
Killing Haniyeh was an act of exemplary courage, determined boldness and strategic brilliance and what might finally be needed to end the war.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, for all his many faults, can at least say that he lives in danger alongside his people.
