‘Thousands’ pay respects to Haniyeh at Doha mosque
The Jummah (Friday) prayer has been performed in Doha’s Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque and the funeral prayer [for Hamas’s Ismail Haniyeh] has just started. People are paying their final respects to the former political head of Hamas.
Right when this prayer is over, Haniyeh’s body, probably escorted by thousands and thousands of people now attending the prayer, will be taken to the Lusail royal cemetery north of Doha.
The security measures are extreme here because there are going to be dozens and dozens of state dignitaries from all around the world, particularly from Islamic countries. In addition, the leaders of Palestinian factions, including Fatah and Islamic Jihad, are going to be here. … Haniyeh’s family is here too to pay their respects.
