Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, has been elevated to the top political post in Hamas. - eviltoast

Hamas announced on Tuesday that Yahya Sinwar, the presumed mastermind of the deadly Oct. 7 attacks, was selected as the next head of the group’s political office, elevating him to the highest-profile political role within Hamas and consolidating his power over the militant group.

He will replace Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in an explosion last week in Tehran. Hamas and Iran both blamed Israel for the assassination — which took place during the inauguration of the new Iranian president — although Israel has not publicly taken responsibility.

    I have no fucking clue man and frankly, I don’t give a fuck at this point. Go ask the Israeli political establishment, anything right of Hadash really, what their fucking plan has been all along. They are the ones that have made everything possible to delegitimize, jail, corrupt, murder, slander and demobilize all the actual moderate Palestinians for 30 years now. When Israelis show actual political will for dismantling apartheid and working for actual just peace, then I will start to entertain hypothetical problem solving scenarios for them. Until then, let them play wargames with Hamas and Hezbollah and make the whole point of Israel as a safe haven for Jews even more of a joke than it already is.
