According to a statement attributed to him, Khamenei said Israel "prepared a harsh punishment for itself. We consider his revenge as our duty."
Oddly enough Haniyeh has spent time in an Israeli prison and was briefly an elected Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority before he moved to Doha where he took up residence and rose to become the head of the political wing of the Hamas.
