Israel has killed Hamas's top leader Yahya Sinwar. Israel alleges that Yahya Sinwar had hatched the entire conspiracy of the attack on October 7 last year and was the mastermind. Now Israel has claimed a big success by eliminating 61 year old Yahya Sinwar. Meanwhile, discussions have started as to who will now lead Hamas. Yahya Sinwar had strengthened Hamas in the last two decades and was very close to Iran. In such a situation, the search is on to find out who will be able to lead in his place. At present some names are in discussion for this.
Who is Mahmoud Al-Jahar?
Yahya Sinwar The name of Mahmoud Al-Jahar is also in discussion instead. He was a founding member of Hamas. He is considered more radical than Sinwar. It is believed that he is an ideologue of Hamas, who on one hand talks about armed conflict with Israel and on the other hand also decides policies regarding governance in Gaza. He has been the foreign minister of the Hamas government formed in Gaza in 2006. Jahar is said to have played an important role in that election victory.
Yahya's brother Mohammad Sinwar also in the race
Yahya Sinwar His brother Mohammad Sinwar is also in the race to replace him. Like his brother, he has also been active in the Hamas army for a long time. It is being said that he is also a fanatic like his brother Yahya. America has also expressed concern about his taking command of Hamas. America says that if Mohammad Sinwar becomes the leader then peace talks will be difficult. The specialty of Mohammad Sinwar is that he keeps himself away from discussions. Israel also tried to kill him several times, but he escaped every time.
The name of Musa Abu Marzouk is also discussed
Musa Abu Marzouk is also in the race to take over the leadership of Hamas. He is a senior member of Hamas' Political Bureau. It played an important role in forming Hamas by separating from the Muslim Brotherhood active in Palestine in 1980. He is said to be handling the financial affairs of Hamas.
Khalil Al-Hayya's name also in the race
Khalil Al-Hayya, sitting in Qatar, is also in this race. It is discussed that he had taken part in the ceasefire discussions with Israel. He is not considered to be much of a hardliner. In such a situation, if Hamas is willing to negotiate with Israel to stop the war, then there can be discussion on giving command to Al-Hayya also. Khalil al-Hayya was also attacked by Israel in 2007, in which his entire family was destroyed. But he had escaped.
