Hours before he was assassinated in Tehran, Iran, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh toured an exhibition of "Islamic lands" in Tehran on July 30, 2024 with the mayor of Tehran and leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Ziyad Nakhalah, where he gave an interview to SNN.ir that was uploaded to the media outlet's Telegram channel. Haniyeh said that 'false civilizations' that are based on plundering and bloodshed are not destined to last, while the Islamic civilization, which is based on "divine shari'a" is destined to last for eternity. Haniyeh was assassinated in the early hours of July 31, 2024, during a visit to Tehran to attend the inauguration of Iran's new president Masoud Pezeshkian.
Ismael Haniyeh: "I am filled with pride to stroll around this exhibition of civilizations, moving from one country to another, with Jerusalem in the center – Jerusalem, the pivot of our conflict with the Zionist enterprise.

"The message is very clear – human civilizations emerged from this region, these nations, and these countries. Today, there is an attempt to create civilizations, but these civilizations are based on killing, bloodshed, the plundering of other nation's resources, and occupying the lands of others. These are false civilizations that are not destined to last. The civilization that will last for eternity is this [Islamic] civilization that is based on the divine shari'a and human values."
