DHAKA: The government has decided to relax the ongoing curfew for 13 hours for four days starting Wednesday (July 31).
CAIRO : Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Iran on Wednesday, the Palestinian group Hamas and Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards said in separate statements.
Appointed to the Hamas top job in 2017, Haniyeh moved between Turkey and Qatar's capital Doha, escaping the travel curbs of the blockaded Gaza Strip and enabling him to act as a negotiator in ceasefire talks or to talk to Hamas' ally Iran. Haniyeh had denied Israeli assertions that his sons were fighters for the group, and said"the interests of the Palestinian people are placed ahead of everything" when asked if their killing would impact truce talks.
But how much Haniyeh knew about the Oct. 7 assault beforehand is not clear. The plan, drawn up by the Hamas military council in Gaza was such a closely guarded secret that some Hamas officials seemed shocked by its timing and scale. "Haniyeh is leading the political battle for Hamas with Arab governments," Adeeb Ziadeh, a specialist in Palestinian affairs at Qatar University, said before his death.
