Beirut, August 8 (RHC)-- The Palesintian resistance group Hamas has announced that Yahya Sinwar will become the new leader of the group’s political wing following Israel’s assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran last week.
Yahya Sinwar has served as Hamas’s top leader in Gaza since 2017 and is credited with being the mastermind of the October 7th attack on Israel.
One Hamas official told the BBC: “They killed Haniyeh, the flexible person who was open to solutions. Now they have to deal with Sinwar and the military leadership.”
