The funeral prayer for Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh will be held in Tehran on Thursday at 8 a.m. local time. Following the ceremony in Iran, Haniyeh’s body will be transported to Doha, the capital of Qatar, on the same day.
In Doha, a second funeral prayer is scheduled to take place at the Imam Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab Mosque after the Friday prayers. Haniyeh will subsequently be laid to rest in Lusail, a city north of Doha.
Hamas has announced that the funeral in Doha will be open to the public and will be attended by various factions, along with Arab and Islamic leaders. The group’s statement emphasized the significance of Haniyeh’s contributions and the expected large turnout to honor his memory.
