Ismail Haniya: Palestinian leader of moderate and reconciliation

According to a statement issued by Hamas, Ismail Haniya was in Tehran to attend the oath -taking ceremony of Iranian President Masood Poshikian, where he was targeted. Hamas says Ismail Haniya has been targeted by Israel, which has not yet been commented on by Israel.

The operation in Tehran came hours after Israel's attack in Beirut, where the Iranian -backed Lebanese group and the political movement of Hezbollah were targeted.

Ismail Haniya was a Palestinian politician and head of the Palestinian group Hamas's political bureau. He was also the prime minister of the tenth Palestinian government.

Despite his stringent statements, political observers and analysts generally view them as a moderate person in comparison to hard -line leaders from Gaza and Yahya Snwar.

In 1989, Israel was imprisoned for three years and then deported to the Lebanese-Israeli border with several Hamas leaders, where they spent a whole year in exile in 1992.

He lived in Qatar and could not visit the Gaza Strip for a long time.

62 -year -old Ismail Haniya was elected the head of Hamas's political sector instead of Khalid Mashal in 2017. After the amazing success of Hamas in the parliamentary elections, when he took over the government in the Palestinian Authority, his name and his nickname (Abu al -Abad) had been known to the world since 2006.

Haniya was born in 1962 at a Shayyah refugee camp in the west of the city of Gaza. His parents had to leave their home near the Israeli town of Ashklon during the 1948 Arab -Israeli war.

He studied Arabic literature at Islamic University in Gaza and from there he joined the Islamic movement.

Ismail Haniya graduated in 1987. That year, a public uprising against Israeli occupation began in Gaza. He was arrested by Israeli authorities for taking part in the demonstrations shortly afterwards, but his imprisonment was short at that time.

Leadership of the Palestinian government

Although Mahmud al -Zahir was considered to be the most senior leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniya was elected to lead the Hamas campaign in the January 15 election, in which the candidates of the movement were among the 132 seats in the Palestinian Legislative Council. There were 76 seats.

Subsequently, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas asked Hamas to form a new government. However, weeks of talks failed to form an alliance with the ruling victory movement and other factions, and Haniya was forced to form a government with his team and several technocrats primarily.

When Ismail Haniya presented his administration's program, he urged the United States and the European Union not to follow the threats of a reduction in the Palestinian Authority's financing. He also emphasized that Palestinians have the right to continue their struggle for independence, but at the same time, they said they want to talk to international mediators to resolve the conflict.

He said that "our government will not spare any effort to achieve justice, end occupation and restore its rights in the region."

Ismail Haniya's family

In 2018, the United States declared the Palestinian Islamic Movement Hamas political leader a terrorist and imposed sanctions on them. The US Department of State said that Ismail Haniya has a close relationship with Hamas's military wing, and he "supports the armed struggle against civilians."

Ismail Haniya married her cousin Amal Haniya when she was sixteen years old and had 13 children, including eight boys and five girls.

His daughter Sana Sinha was born in 1986 while Basina was born in 1987. Born in 1992, she named her daughter, while the daughter was born in 1998, Latifa and Sarah born in 2004.

He had eight sons: Abdul Salam was born in 1981, the baths in 1983, in 1984, Ma'ad in 1985, Aad in 1994, in 1994, and was killed in the Israeli invasion. Aamir was born in 1995 and was killed in an Israeli attack and Mohammed was born in 1996 and he was also killed in an Israeli attack.

Hamas's political chief Ismail Haniya's son and grandchildren were killed in an airstrike in Gaza before the launch of the latest Gaza ceasefire in Cairo in the second week of April this year.

The three sons of Ismail, Aamir and Mohammed, were traveling with their young children in a car at a refugee camp in western Gaza at the end of Ramadan. Ishmael Haniya's grandchildren included three girls and a baby. His names have been released by Hamas, including Mona, Amal, Khalid and Razan.
