The burial of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh is to be held in Doha on Friday a day after a public funeral ceremony in Tehran, the Palestinian group said Wednesday.
Hamas said in a statement that an “official and public” funeral ceremony would be held in Tehran on Thursday before his body is transported to Doha for a Friday burial of “the martyr leader of the movement.”
Iran declared three days of mourning following the killing of Haniyeh in Tehran in an attack blamed on arch-foe Israel.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran announced three days of public mourning following the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh,” the government said in a statement.
