Hamas announced on Tuesday that Yahya Sinwar, one of the masterminds behind the deadly Oct.
7 attacks, was selected as the next head of the group’s political office, consolidating his power over the militant group as it continues to fight Israel.
Mr. Sinwar has long been considered an architect of Hamas’s military strategy in Gaza. But now he will also replace Ismail Haniyeh, the group’s top political leader who was a key liaison in the indirect cease-fire talks with Israel.
Mr. Haniyeh was killed in an explosion last week in Tehran.
Hamas and Iran both blamed Israel for his assassination — which took place during the inauguration of the new Iranian president — although Israel has not publicly taken responsibility.

These dumb israeli diaper hillbillies can't ever get this into their thick skulls...
whenever you assassinate a leader of the movement, it only grows stronger!
This is the absolute L for Netanyahu. Sinwar doesn’t believe in negotiations and understands the parasitic mind of Bibi better than himself

But this is what he wants. This is a win for Bibi. No more negotiations.
