A day of sorrow was also observed nationwide along with the funeral prayer, which was one of the resolutions taken by the administration on Thursday.

At the funeral prayer were figures from the ruling coalition as well as the opposition parties, including Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Speaker of the National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, Ministers of Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar and Law Azam Nazeer Tarar.

Referring to Haniyeh’s murder, Sharif stated earlier on Friday at a press conference, “An incident of worst brutality has come to the fore, which the entire world, including Pakistan, Turkiye, Malaysia, China and Russia, has condemned in the strongest words.”

Sharif added, “Pakistan will keep on giving the Palestinians medical care and relief supplies.”

At the Imam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab mosque in Qatar, funeral prayers for Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, were held on Friday.

Hamas political office members had also lived in Doha, including Haniyeh, the political chief of the Palestinian party.

Leader of Hamas politics Ismail Haniyeh will be laid to rest in a cemetery in Lusail, which is located north of the capital of Qatar.

According to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Ismail Haniyeh and a bodyguard perished in the early-morning attack on their Tehran lodging on Wednesday before dawn.

To witness President Masoud Pezeshkian’s inauguration on Tuesday, he had traveled to Iran. Israel, which is being held accountable for the attack by Iran, Hamas, and other groups, has not responded to the accusations explicitly.

The military chief of Hezbollah, a Lebanese organization associated with Hamas, Fuad Shukr, was killed by an Israeli strike on a southern Beirut suburb, barely hours before the martyrdom of the Hamas president.

Iran-backed extremist organizations in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen have been brought into the Gaza war, which has heightened regional tensions. The latest episode to do this is the deaths.

On Thursday, thousands of people attended Haniyeh’s public funeral service in Tehran as a show of support.

Following his prior threats of “harsh punishment” for Haniyeh’s death, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, led prayers for the fallen leader.
