"Architect" of the October 7 massacre, who is the new political leader

After two days of negotiations in Doha, Hamas named Yahya Sinwar as the new head of its political wing, replacing Ismail Haniya, who was killed in Tehran last week.

Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza since 2017, has long been considered the "head" of the organization's military strategy in the region, and is credited as one of the "architects" of Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7.

He has been designated a "terrorist" by the European Union and his name was added to the US terrorist list in 2015, while Britain imposed a series of sanctions against him and other senior Hamas officials last December.

The Hague Criminal Court prosecutor has also sought an arrest warrant for him, along with Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallad, for war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the war in the Gaza Strip.

The election of Sinwar to lead Hamas's political wing comes at a time when retaliation is expected from Iran in response to the killings of Haniya and Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr.

Born in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, Sinwar joined Hamas in the 1980s.

He spent nearly two decades in an Israeli prison and was released in 2011, along with more than 1,000 other Palestinian prisoners in a prisoner exchange.

As reported by the New York Times, Sinwar knew the Quran by heart. While incarcerated, he also wrote a novel called The Thorn and the Carnation, a coming-of-age story that chronicles his life: The narrator, a Gazan boy named Ahmed, emerges from the shelter during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and lives the occupation Israeli, which, as he wrote in the book, makes "young people's breasts boil like a cauldron".

He once told an Italian journalist that "prison builds you" and that it gave him time to think about what he believed in and the price he would be willing to pay for it.

A Hamas spokesman said in an interview with Al Jazeera that Sinwar was elected unanimously and that he "is accepted by everyone in the organization." He added that it was too early to discuss how his election would affect the ceasefire talks, but hinted that little would change.

A NY Times report says his hardline stance suggests he will be unwilling to reach a ceasefire deal with Israel that would end the fighting in Gaza and lead to the return of some 115 hostages .

According to the same publication, Israeli and American intelligence officers believe that Sinwar's strategy is to continue the war in Gaza as long as necessary to damage Israel's international reputation and damage its relations with its main ally. the USA.

Israel Katz, Israel's foreign minister, said in a statement that Sinwar's appointment is "another compelling reason to exterminate him quickly and wipe this filthy organization off the face of the earth," as he noted.
