He emphasized that the murder of Haniyeh would not end the Palestinian freedom movement and highlighted the spirit of martyrdom he observed in his meetings with Haniyeh.
“The sacrifices of his family will not go in vain,” Maulana added. He also announced plans to present a resolution in the National Assembly to recognize Ismail Haaniyeh’s services, with similar resolutions to be presented in the Senate, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan assemblies.
Fazl also called for nationwide recitation of the Quran and prayers for Haniyeh in schools, madrassas and at homes. “There will be massive demonstrations against the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh and Israeli aggression across the country on Friday,” he declared.

Mushahid observed that Haniyeh’s martyrdom had dealt a huge setback to the Palestinian liberation struggle, which would now intensify, and criticized Israeli actions as state terrorism.
The day the Gaza war ends, it will be the political death of Netanyahu.” Mushahid remarked, calling Haniyeh’s killing a failure of the Iranian intelligence.
He further remarked that the fear of America and Israel should end, adding that Hamas had been resisting alone for eight months. “Israel has morally lost the war,” he added.
Hafiz Naeemur Rehman
In an interview, Jamaat-e-Islami chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman condemned Israeli actions as “a terrible move” and criticized the silence of Muslim countries, which he argued strengthens Israel.
He called for a more proactive stance from the Muslim world and questioned the inaction of the 40-country Islamic military coalition. “From the condemnation statement, the time has come for action,” Rehman urged, highlighting the need for concrete measures against Israeli aggression.
Nationwide protests and condolences
The leaders’ statements reflect a broader call for action against what they describe as Israeli aggression and a reaffirmation of support for the Palestinian freedom movement.
