The election of Yahya Sinwar to his new position symbolizes Hamas’s total support for jihad against Israel and the October 7 massacre. Hamas officials claim that Yahya Sinwar will soon give a speech to mark his acceptance as head of the political bureau of Hamas.
The Hamas movement has chosen Yahya Sinwar, who is responsible for the massacre on October 7, as the head of the Political Bureau. His election challenges Israel regarding the continuation of the war in Gaza and the release of the hostages.
Senior officials in Jerusalem assert that this move underscores Hamas’ jihadist goals to destroy the State of Israel and will expedite the security forces’ efforts to eliminate Yahya Sinwar as soon as possible.
The assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran has triggered a battle for succession within the organization.
Khaled Mashal, who previously held this position for many years, is the leading candidate to replace him.
Mashal is reportedly at odds with Yahya Sinwar, and according to Hamas sources, he will attempt to neutralize Sinwar’s influence.
Iran announced the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh during his visit to Tehran, where he attended the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s new president, Masoud Pazashekian. This assassination is significant both operationally and morally, though it is unlikely to impact the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip or the negotiations for the release of Israeli hostages.
Senior security officials assert that the meeting of Palestinian factions in China aims to embarrass Israel and confront it with the fait accompli that both the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas will control the Gaza Strip post-war. However, they believe this outcome is unlikely.
According to these officials, the Palestinian public remains indifferent to the meeting’s outcomes, viewing it as a facade of national unity.
Palestinians and several Arab countries are worried about next week’s anticipated meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Joe Biden in Washington, as well as Netanyahu’s planned speech to Congress.
Hamas fears that Netanyahu will receive political support and arms from the U.S. during his visit, enabling him to continue the war in the Gaza Strip.
The Hamas leadership continues to downplay Israel’s achievements in the ongoing conflict, specifically hiding the news of Muhammad Deif’s death, a significant intelligence and operational success for the Shin Bet and the IDF. The battle for public perception continues as Hamas perpetuates the “myth of victory” from October 7, while Israel systematically eliminates those responsible for the massacre in Israeli settlements near Gaza.
Senior security officials in Israel are increasingly confident that Muhammad Deif was killed in the recent Israeli Air Force attack on Khan Yunis. Reports suggest that Hamas is attempting to conceal his fate. Within the Hamas movement, Muhammad Sinwar, brother of Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, is already being considered as the potential successor to Deif.
Iran opposes a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the hostage deal, and Yahya Sinwar complies with this policy. Sinwar attributes the resignation of Ministers Gantz and Eisenkot from the government to his strategy and is convinced that the Netanyahu government will soon collapse.
The “Arnon” operation to rescue four hostages from the Nuseirat refugee camp was a significant surprise for Hamas, dealing both an operational and morale blow.
However, Hamas is attempting to downplay the success of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
