Hamas Elects Yahya Sinwar as New Leader
The terrorist organization Hamas has chosen Yahya Sinwar as the new head of its Politburo, replacing the liquidated Ismail Haniyeh. This news was reported by the “Alexey Zheleznov Channel.”
Following Haniyeh’s elimination, Hamas faced internal chaos due to the uncertainty surrounding the selection of a new leader. Tensions escalated between different factions, particularly between Sinwar and Khaled Mashal.
The situation is further complicated by the assassination of Saleh al-Arouri, Haniyeh’s deputy, who was seen as a potential successor. This event deepened the uncertainty within Hamas.
According to Hamas’ internal rules, the head of the Central Shura Council must coordinate the movement’s activities until general elections are held.
Recent weeks have seen Hamas suffer significant setbacks, leading to a weakened state for the organization. Analysts believe the next leader will likely have strong ties to Iran, as their support will be crucial for Hamas’ recovery after the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
