Deep dives
New Leadership in Hamas
Yahya Sinwar has been appointed as the new leader of Hamas' political bureau in Gaza following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh. Sinwar, a former Palestinian prisoner and a key figure in the military wing, is perceived as a hardliner and has been implicated in the mastermind behind recent violent attacks. His selection has created uncertainty regarding Hamas' political direction, as he is not known for engaging in negotiations, which may complicate ceasefire discussions. As he has control over Israeli hostages, the expectations for negotiations with Israel may become increasingly tense under his leadership.
