Hezbollah congratulates new Hamas leader Yehya al-Sinwar
Quick Read
“With al-Sinwar’s appointment, Hamas is also sending strong message to Israel and its allies, as Hamas remains steadfast and united in its decisions."
Lebanon’s Shiite Hezbollah organisation has congratulated Yehya al-Sinwar on his election as leader of the Palestinian group, Hamas.
The appointment followed the killing of Hamas political leader, Ismail Haniyeh in Iran’s capital Tehran.
Times investigation revealed that Haniyeh was killed by an explosive device hidden in a heavily guarded
complex where he was known to stay in Iran.
Hezbollah, therefore, said in a statement on Wednesday that “Al-Sinwar’s appointment as head of Hamas
political bureau is proof of Israel’s failure.
“Israel has not been able to achieve its goal — the killing of Hamas leaders and functionaries.”
“With al-Sinwar’s appointment, Hamas is also sending strong message to Israel and its allies, as Hamas remains steadfast and united in its decisions.
“It will continue on the path of resistance and struggle.”
