According to CCTV News, on the evening of the 3rd local time, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) issued a statement saying that the organization’s leadership will conduct extensive consultations within the organization to re-determine the organization’s new leader.

The statement said that after the assassination of Hamas leader Haniyeh, the organization's leadership held an emergency meeting and reached a consensus. The statement said that Haniyeh's death would only strengthen the strength and determination of Hamas and make its resistance more intense. Hamas has a strong system and a sound consultation mechanism. In the past, after its leaders were killed in attacks, the organization was able to quickly identify new leaders. After Haniyeh's death, the organization's leadership has begun extensive consultations within the leadership and at all levels to identify new leaders.

The statement said that the organization is continuing to work effectively and has the ability to persist in resisting Israel under the most difficult circumstances. Once the organization's internal consultations are completed, it will take the initiative to announce the results to the outside world.
