This new leader seems more aggressive and lethal than the previous leader.

They will wish they had not assassinated Ismail Haniyeh Yahya Sinwar is the person whom Israel hates and fears They did not expect Yahya Sinwar to be the new leader of Hamas 😂

He just named himself its a dictatorship chosen by who????

[traderbestc]

This news of Yahya Sinwar as the new leader has been welcomed by Israel; now Nethyanahu can discuss matters directly with him. So far Israel was struggling to have a meeting with him.

What is Sinwar thinking didn’t he see what happen to all his buddies

Congrats Mr. yahya sinwar. Some Arab countries Arabs have been watching Palestine conflict like a action movie. They don't know what is going on in gaza and elsewhere. because, they go to the bed if they eat, they go to eat if they awake up. That's all.

I think it's like Umar of Hamas after Abubakar

[thesarasohrabi]

I dont think at this point he was the right choice for this.... They could have made him the CTO instead... ( Chief tunneling officer )

From the river to the sea 🌊 Palestine will be free 🇵🇸from Sri Lanka ❤

How long is the 'journey'? Any bets?

[davidbenhaim]

All the other Hamas members were scared to be named chief. They figured Sinwar is already a targeted man, might as well puts the bullseye on the man who already has a bullseye on his back.

Israel is Original before Palestinians. It is Called Judea and then Palestine. It is Italian Rome Fault for calling it Palestine. History people religious people try to twist.

[lonelyberg]

I can't believe people are supporting a terrorist. That's insane.

[helenshan]
