(CNN) Hamas’ choice of a hardline political leader did little to comfort Gazans displaced, hungry, and seeking a way out of their misery after nearly 10 months of war on Wednesday.
The Palestinian militant group appointed Yahya Sinwar to lead its political bureau on Tuesday, replacing Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in Tehran in an attack Iran blamed on Israel. Israel has neither confirmed nor denied responsibility.
The move consolidates power within the organization under Sinwar, who until this week was the head of Hamas in Gaza. Sinwar, a hardened militant with many years spent in an Israeli prison, is viewed as less compromising in dealings with Israel and closer to Iran than his predecessor. He is accused by Israel of being the mastermind of the October 7 attack and believed to be hiding in a tunnel in Gaza.
Those poor Gazan people! This very bad man (and dare I say his regime?) is consolidating power. I wonder why?
It can't have anything to do with that attack that Israel denied (but their officials posted pictures of Haniyeh with "target eliminated")
I guess Palestinians just can't be reasoned with.
End sarcasm
I hope these authors, editors, and anyone defending the Zionist entity at this point gets their time in a harsh cold prison.
Incredibly ghoulish.
