Israel's Netanyahu ordered Ismail Haniyeh's killing to scuttle peace talks: Former Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Oman and UAE, Talmiz Ahmad, to Karan Thapar for The Wire.
...........................................
One of India’s foremost experts on the Middle East and a former Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Oman and UAE, Talmiz Ahmad, has said that he believes Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could have ordered the killing of the Hamas leader and former Prime Minister of Palestine, Ismail Haniyeh, to scuttle the peace talks because if a successful ceasefire had been agreed to Netanyahu would have lost his job as Prime Minister of Israel.
Mr. Ahmad does not believe that the Biden Administration in Washington would have been consulted leave aside had given prior clearance before the assassination of Haniyeh. He also believes that although Hamas and Iran will retaliate - and separately Hezbollah for the killing of Fuad Shukr 24 hours earlier - they will do so in their own time and in a measured way because they do not wish to provoke a wider regional conflict.
I am only giving you the big main points made by Mr. Ahmad. This is a very topical interview, on an issue that only happened in the late hours of last night i.e. early this morning. With his experience and insight, Mr. Ahmad is able to give us an invaluable analysis of the issues involved which is why this is an interview you should see if you want to understand why Haniyeh was killed and what could be the outcome.
