BBC is calling him a key figure in ceasefire negotiations:

So Hamas or not, interesting choice of target by the genocidal apartheid state.

Edit: and Al Jazeera says:

Turkish politicians view Haniyeh as a dedicated figure who has tirelessly worked to broker a ceasefire, frequently travelling between Doha and Istanbul.

Looks to me like a natural choice: the visible head of Hamas, which is the enemy. I don't think Israel is interested in peace negotiations, so it is also a way to say they don't care and they will wipe out everyone there. Which is in line with everything else Bibi & company have been saying and doing.

So, who planned the Oct 7th attack? Fuck hamas and fuck bibi and his fascists for using them for his fascist politics.
