Hamas announced on Tuesday that Yahya Sinwar, the presumed mastermind of the deadly Oct. 7 attacks, was selected as the next head of the group’s political office, elevating him to the highest-profile political role within Hamas and consolidating his power over the militant group.
He will replace Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in an explosion last week in Tehran. Hamas and Iran both blamed Israel for the assassination — which took place during the inauguration of the new Iranian president — although Israel has not publicly taken responsibility.
Oh look, the Israelis did that thing that they always do, and ensured the new guy is someone more hardcore than the previous guy. And then they will act all surprised when the next bad thing happens. And when we say “we told you so, wtf did you expect would happen”, they will throw a hissy fit.
What are they supposed to do just let rhe ‘moderate’ guy carry out his plans to kill as many women and children as possible? When your stated goal is to kill all jews in the bloodiest way possible it doesn’t really matter what the next guy plans they’ve already maxed out.
He’s always been the leader. This is just a change in titles to eliminate the vacant lower position.
