The funeral ceremony took place in the capital of Doha, where prayers were said over the coffin of the deceased, and then the coffin was taken to the city of Lusail.
The head of the Hamas politburo, Ismail Haniyeh, was buried in a cemetery in the city of Lusail, north of Doha, the capital of Qatar. This was reported by Al Jazeera on Friday, August 2.
The funeral ceremony was attended by officials, members of the Qatari royal family and members of Haniyeh’s own family.
The ceremony was attended by Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.
Thousands of people came out to say goodbye to the Politburo chairman. Prayers were said over his coffin at the Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque in Doha, and then taken to Lusail.
Due to the presence of dozens of government officials, most of them from Islamic countries, security measures were significantly strengthened during the ceremony.
Prayers for Haniyeh were also heard on Friday in Indonesia, Turkey, Yemen and other countries. In Pakistan, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif prayed with the faithful.
We remind you that on Wednesday the media reported that Ismail Haniyeh was killed in the capital of Iran. One of his guards also died. Hamas later confirmed this information. Iran immediately blamed Israel for the attack and vowed retaliation.
