The Palestinian militant group Hamas chooses Yahya Sinwar, its top official in Gaza who masterminded the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel, as its new leader.
Hamas has named Yahya Sinwar, its top official in Gaza who masterminded the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel, as its new leader. The choice is a dramatic sign of the power of the Palestinian militant group's hard-line wing after Sinwar's predecessor was killed in a presumed Israeli strike in Iran.
'The person leading today is the one who led the fighting for more than 305 days and is still steadfast in the field.” Hamas' allies Iran and Hezbollah issued statements praising Sinwar's appointment. Hamas' representative in Iran, Khaled Kaddoumi, called Sinwar a “consensus choice” popular among all factions and involved in the group’s decision-making throughout, including in negotiations.
