TEL AVIV, Israel: Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz condemned the appointment of Yahya Sinwar as Hamas’s new political bureau leader, following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh.
Katz described Sinwar’s appointment as a further incentive for his removal and the dissolution of Hamas.
Sinwar, who leads Hamas in Gaza and is perceived by Israel as the orchestrator of the October 7 attack, takes the role after Haniyeh was killed in an attack on his residence in Iran.
