The coffin of Hamas's political chief Ismail Haniyeh, killed in a “Israeli” strike in Tehran, arrived Thursday in Doha after a public funeral service in Iran – per Al-Jazeera.

Haniyeh, who had resided in exile in the Gulf state with other members of the Palestinian group's political office, is to be buried in Qatar on Friday following prayers at the Imam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab Mosque, Doha's largest mosque.
