US Gave “Green Light” in Haniyah’s Assassination – Experts Say

Politicians agreed the assassination of Ismail Haniyah, chief of the Hamas political bureau by Israel would not have been carried out without the American green light and participation of Washington in the operation.

They added to the Jo24 website the surgical operation carried out, Wednesday, sends a clear message to Tehran that there is nothing protected inside Iranian territory and that Israel is able to reach the targets it wants in the country easily.

The politician analysts point out the assassination reflects the dilemma faced by Israel in its 10-month war on Gaza and the fact its unable to achieve goals there. As a result,  the  Zionist enemy is now resorting to assassinating the leaders in the region as a way to quell the resistance.

Reshuffling the cards

Veteran Jordanian politician Salem Al-Falahat said the latest assassination is an attempt by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to expand the scope of the war and attempt to shuffle the cards by bringing Iran into the battle field to get rid of all the forces opposing the Israeli occupation in Gaza and the Palestinian territories.

Al-Falahat added that the operation reflects Israel’s disdain to Arab countries.

He confirmed however, the blood of the martyrs will increase the resistance’s determination to complete the liberation of the land while aknowledging the current negotiations are futille and leading to nowhere.

He stressed the USA is a major partner with Israel in the assassination and the main guide in the last operation.

The occupation’s failure

Political activist and academic Dr. Labib Qamhawi said the assassination reflects the failure of the Israeli military to achieve its announced goals for the war and resulting in its latest trend to assassinate its leaders and influence the masses to turn against them.

Qamhawi added to Jordan 24 that there is a major conspiracy in the Haniyeh assassination as the missile was directed towards his bedroom, which means that there was electronic guidance that hit the target directly.

He concluded that because Israel is failing on the military front in Gaza and its northern areas, it looked for an alternative solution which is to assassinate. But this would not have take place without the knowledge of the Americans as refuted by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.

Security breach in Iran

Strategic analyst Dr. Munther Al-Hiwarat said this precise and focused operation on Haniyeh, and the day before him, on Hezbollah’s military leader Fouad Shukr, does not take place without the knowledge and assistance of the USA. He added that the latest operation is indeed considered a security and strategic breach for Iran and an expression of the lack of its security as a deterrent force.

In his view Israel intended to go for a major war, but it was pressure from the United States that forced it to back down and adopt “a minor war” stand and the assassinations of such leaders.
