The Iranian government is planning to organize anti-Israeli armed groups to avenge the killing of Ismail Haniya, the top leader of the Palestinian independence armed organization Hamas. For this purpose, they have called a meeting with the representatives of the groups. On the other hand, Israel has also warned that they will not sit down if attacked. And in this regard, US President Joe Biden has assured Israel of all-out support as always.
According to the Reuters report, representatives of Iran are expected to hold talks with the Gaza independence organization Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Yemen’s armed Houthi rebels, Lebanon’s armed organization Hezbollah and Iraqi rebel groups. The Tehran meeting will seek the most effective means of attacking Israel. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and senior officers of the influential Revolutionary Guards will be present at the talks, another Iranian official said. Iran’s army chief, General Mohammad Baqeri, said the attack must be carried out. No doubt, Israel must repent for its actions.
Israel is also ready for any attack after the killing of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said that Israel is ready for any situation. Any aggression against us will be well accounted for. If someone attacks us, we will be retaliated against.
Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz said the same after Hezbollah leader Nasrallah’s threat last Thursday. His harsh comment was, Nasarallah, stop making big words, threats and lies before paying a heavy price. We will use our full force to restore security in the northern part of Israel. Meanwhile, according to a statement from the White House, Biden once again promised Netanyahu to protect Israel’s security. At the same time, he said to stand by Israel against all threats from Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis.
Incidentally, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed a few hours after attending the swearing-in ceremony of Iran’s new president, Massoud Pezeshkian, in Tehran last Wednesday. Hamas and Iran have accused Israel of the murder. However, Israel has not yet accepted its responsibility.
Although not responsible for the murder of Ismail Haniya, the Israeli security forces announced the killing of Fuad Shukur, the top commander of Hezbollah, near Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, a day ago. In a speech given during Fuad’s burial on Thursday, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah warned that the killing would be answered. Israel does not know what line they have crossed.
