Yahya Sinwar literally grew up in the Palestinian resistance group Hamas and is seen as a key player in Palestinian national reconciliation.
Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has appointed Yahya Sinwar as its new political chief.
By choosing him as the group's chief Hamas"is sending a strong message to the occupation that Hamas continues its path of resistance", a senior Hamas official told AFP. "He makes decisions in the utmost calm, but is intractable when it comes to defending the interests of Hamas," Abu Abdallah told AFP in 2017 after his former co-detainee was elected Hamas's leader in Gaza.
He is regarded as one of the key players between the Qassam Brigades, and the organisation's politburo. He has taken the lead in reassessing Hamas's solidarity connections.Sinwar dreams of a single Palestinian state bringing together besieged Gaza, the occupied West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem.
