The assassinations of the last two days in Beirut and Tehran make clear that Netanyahu puts his personal political survival above the lives of hostages.

July 31, 2024 (EIRNS)—On early Wednesday morning, July 31, Israel assassinated the political chief of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, during his visit to Tehran for the inauguration of the new Iranian President. Not only was he one of the top leaders of the Hamas government, but Haniyeh was the top official involved in the negotiations for a potential ceasefire and hostage deal with Israel, therefore all but guaranteeing that a diplomatic resolution in Gaza will be taken off the table. Taken together with the fact that only hours earlier, Israel assassinated a leading Hezbollah commander in a residential neighborhood in Beirut, Lebanon, it’s clear we are on the cusp of a major war exploding throughout the entire region and beyond.
