Following the assassination of Hamas’s political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Nigerian political commentator and former minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, took to his verified Twitter account to express his condolences and admiration for the fallen leader.

In a heartfelt tribute, Fani-Kayode lauded Haniyeh’s bravery and dedication to his cause, referring to him as a “great warrior.”

“RIP great warrior. Your courage was second to none. You were martyred for your cause and your people. History will be kind to you and God will avenge you,” Fani-Kayode wrote, acknowledging Haniyeh’s significant role within Hamas and his enduring legacy among his followers.

Haniyeh’s assassination, which Hamas attributes to Israel, occurred early Wednesday morning in the Iranian capital, where Haniyeh had been attending the inauguration of Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian. The attack, which also claimed the life of one of his bodyguards, has triggered widespread reactions and escalated tensions in the region.

Hamas described the assassination as a “treacherous Zionist raid” and announced a period of mourning in Gaza. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed the incident, stating that an investigation is underway to uncover the details. The Israeli government has remained silent on the matter, although far-right Israeli Minister Amihai Elihayu praised the assassination on social media.

Fani-Kayode’s tribute highlights the global resonance of Haniyeh’s death and the polarizing impact it has had on international observers. Known for his strong views on Middle Eastern politics, Fani-Kayode’s statement reflects a broader sentiment of mourning and respect for Haniyeh among his supporters.

Haniyeh, who had been residing in Qatar since 2019, was known for his pragmatic approach and efforts to broker ceasefires between Hamas and Israel. His assassination is seen as a major escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with potential implications for regional stability….Sêe_Morē
