Israel-Hamas war: Yahya Sinwar named Haniyeh successor | LiveNOW from FOX

Hamas has named Yahya Sinwar as its new leader after the recent assassination of former political chief Ismail Haniyeh. Sinwar, who has been hiding in Gaza amid the war with Israel, was the mastermind of the October 7th attacks. "The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas announces the selection of Commander Yahya Sinwar as the head of the political bureau of the movement, succeeding the martyr Commander Ismail Haniyeh, may Allah have mercy on him," the group said in a statement. Tensions remain high in the Middle East after Haniyeh's killing, which has caused the Iranian government to vow retribution against Israel.

Yahya isn't going to be around for much longer either

[kjpraman]

Now Sinwar has improved his chances of meeting the late Haniyeh very soon.

[proph]

That's a dead man walking. He will not be around for long.

[eyesonyou]

[jeffn]

He’s dead already, he just doesn’t know it

[HJ-wmyn]

He is leading the army of mice in the tunnels.

Yahya Sinwa is no longer in Gaza. He has already left through the tunnels and exiting in Egypt.

[PaulHira]

How's that possible he hides like a rat

[genjor]

Sinwar hide badly.
Iran, hezbullah also cannot see him.
He is in damn fear now.

[EmmanuelTume-hbum]

He was released from jail with several others because of a single soldier. A very big mistake

[petronets]

Where and when is the swearing in ceremony?

[MTx]

Israel saved his life by giving him brain surgery while he was in prison. Let that sink in.

[joed]

I wonder if Sinwar had anything to do with the Haniyah death. Seems convenient for him.

[whitebuffalo]

running around mud tunnels under his "kingdom", like a rat running around a maze, haha- two weeks, tops.

[ruthbanon]

The Palestinians deserve their leaders. No surprises with these people.

[cletusnigints-lorq]

He will never show his face in public like haniyeh. The day he does will be his last.

[rogerjohnson]

If Sinwar has martyr mentality, the hostages are doomed.
