Khamenei’s funeral continues as Hamas cedes control in Gaza
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's body is taken to Qom for rites, while Hamas announces it will no longer govern Gaza, handing power to a technocratic committee.
The funeral for Iran’s slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is ongoing. His coffin was carried through Tehran in a large mourning procession, and the body has now arrived in the holy city of Qom for further religious ceremonies. Many Iranian officials have expressed condolences.
Meanwhile, a major development occurs in the Gaza Strip. Hamas, which had been in power for nearly 20 years, announced it is dissolving its governing body and stepping down. The group is paving the way for a technocratic committee to take over civilian governance. This move could significantly alter the political landscape in the region.
