Therefore, we say to the enemy, you are lost, you will not get the better of this nation and this great people.

STORYLINE:
Angry Jordanian demonstrators staged a protest near the Israeli embassy in Amman Wednesday against the assassination of Hamas’s top political leader Ismail Haniyeh.
More than one thousand protesters chanted anti-Israel and anti-USA slogans and held pro-Ismail Haniyeh placards and banners.
The Jordanian government condemned the assassination.
“We condemn in the strongest terms Israel’s assassination of Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh, may Allah have mercy on him, as a heinous crime and a flagrant violation of international law.” Jordan’s foreign minister posted on X platform.
Haniyeh was killed in an airstrike in Tehran, Hamas and Iran say, blaming Israel.
The shocking assassination risks escalating the conflict even as the U.S. and other nations were scrambling to prevent an all-out regional war.
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowed revenge against Israel over killing “a dear guest,” hours after Haniyeh attended the inauguration of Iran’s new president.
Israel has not commented on the strike. But it had vowed to kill Haniyeh and other leaders of Hamas over the group’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people.
