Following the death of their main Yahya Sinwar, the Arab militant group Hamas is leaning toward appointing a ruling commission based in Doha rather than a second son.
The team has been deliberating about how to lead its leadership going forward after Sinwar was killed by Israeli troops next year.
Depending on the circumstances, Hamas has decided to wait until the next domestic elections scheduled for March to brand a new president.
” The government’s approach is to avoid appointing a strong leader to the late captain, the hero Yahya Sinwar, until the votes”, a cause from the group told AFP.
Mewanwhile, a five-member council, which was formed in August after the death of political key Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, will assume leadership tasks. Sinwar, who was appointed Gaza commander of Hamas in 2017, ascended to the top management position after Haniyeh’s death in July.
The committee, comprised of key representatives from Gaza, the West Bank, and the Palestinian diaspora, includes Khalil al-Hayya ( Gaza ), Zaher Jabarin ( West Bank ), and Khaled Meshaal ( representing Palestinians abroad ). Two other major members are Mohammed Darwish, brain of Hamas’s Shura expert committee, and the social bureau’s secretary. The committee’s current headquarters are located in Qatar, with all people based there.
The commission has been tasked with governing Hamas during the ongoing conflict, making strategic decisions, and shaping the team’s future plans. ” The committee will manage the movement during the war and extraordinary circumstances, as well as its potential trajectory”, the source said.
A different source revealed that there had been internal discussions about appointing a political captain whose personality would be secret, but the committee’s management finally decided to follow social rule.
Sinwar’s passing occurred as Israeli troops began to conduct their military exercises in Gaza. More than a year into the conflict that began after Hamas launched a significant insulting on October 7, he was killed in southwestern Gaza.
The management vacuum within the Arab terrorist organization has been caused by the death of Yahya Sinwar. There were rumors about potential candidates who might enter the function, according to different reports.
