Hamas announced Tuesday that it had named Gaza-based leader Yayha Sinwar as its new leader to replace political chief Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in Tehran, Iran, last week while attending the presidential inauguration there.
Sinwar, who is regarded as the architect of the October 7 terror attack in which Hamas murdered 1,200 Israelis, is thought to be hiding underground in a tunnel in Gaza, possibly surrounded by Israeli hostages as human shields.
The Times of Israel reported:
Sinwar was selected by Hamas’s 50-strong Shura Council, a consultative body composed of officials elected by Hamas members in four chapters: Gaza, the West Bank, the diaspora and security prisoners in Israeli jails.
Sinwar “is now the most powerful figure in Hamas, formally too,” notes Palestinian affairs analyst Ohad Hemo on Channel 12. “That was already essentially the case, now it’s official.”
“It’s a show of faith” by the terror group, “whose leadership is rapidly shrinking,” adds Hemo, “and it returns the formal center of Hamas power to Gaza,” whereas in recent years much of the official leadership was overseas — including Haniyeh and Khaled Mashaal.

I read it wrong(or did I) that Harris names Sinwar as her new leader
Israel’s new target number one.
Sinwar, “Gee thanks, guys!”
This is going to be like watching the succession of new Al Queda leaders getting droned.
How can this Shura Council, even still exist?
In the cloud. Ask Kamala.
He has been their number one target for some time. He was the guy who planned Oct 7th. He is head of the military wing of Hamas. The guy they wacked in Tehran was the political head.
Sinwar is the guy in charge of terrorism/murder/mayhem.
sounds like the Satanic terrorists pick candidates about as well as those controlling the DemoNaziCommie party
He needs a hand grenade down his shorts
Next up.
It's like the hive. It's irrelevant who's in charge. There are many "Queens" hiding in the tunnels. You can take them out, they'll just promote another one into the leadership. As long as they continue to get supplied, this can go on indefinitely.
DEAD MAN WALKING
MY bet is on Mossad.
May have a short shelf life. Career advancement opportunity for someone in the near future.
I thought they already put this bastard in the ground.
CNN reports that Yayha Sinwar issued a brief statement which read, “No thanks.”
/s
Yayha Sinwar says “Thank you for the generous offer, praise Allah. But I am afraid I must decline. You see, I have to shear my goats water, my camels and, of course, I must not forget the Fred Astair dance lessons my four wives and I have signed up for. So please, merciful Allah, find another person to take my place.”
It seems Oct. 7 had an awful lot of architects. Nevertheless I’m sure Israel is up to the task.
Reminds me of a song I heard on Dr. Demento...”The ABC’s of Dead Russian Leaders”
