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.

    Have you considered why “another one pops up”?

    It’s because you can’t kill an idea. And by brutalizing the general populace, and committing genocide, they’re spreading the idea. They have made generations of new orphans, and new recruits for Hamas, (and if not Hamas, whichever group pops up afterwards) with the wanton destruction they are perpetuating.
