Houthi Leader Next On Israel’s Target? US Says “Weakened” Hamas Can’t Replicate October 7 Attack

The Palestinian militant group will likely replace Sinwar with a new political leader based outside of Gaza. Sinwar’s brother – Mohammad – is expected to assume a bigger role in directing the war against Israel in the territory, experts say. Like his brother, Mohammad Sinwar is a hardline militant who recently became Hamas’s military commander. Mousa Abu Marzouk, the deputy chief of Hamas’s political bureau, could also be a contender to become Sinwar’s replacement. Khaled Meshaal, the group’s former political chief, is also seen as a powerful contender for the role. Sinwar’s deputy, Khalil Al-Hayya, is seen as another powerful contender for the role Al-Hayya acted as the chief negotiator for Hamas during recent ceasefire talks in Cairo and is based in Qatar. Al-Hayya struck a defiant note on Oct. 18, saying Israeli hostages would not be returned until Israeli troops withdrew from Gaza. Experts say that in its leadership deliberations, Hamas must consider not only the preferences of its main backer – Iran – but also the interests of Qatar. #hamas #yahyasinwar #iran #israel #hezbollah #houthi #middleeast #khamenei_ir #warnews n18oc_world n18oc_crux 0:00 INTRODUCTION 1:42 SINWAR’S LOSS SERIOUS SETBACK BUT NO DEATH KNELL FOR HAMAS? 4:15 HAMAS LIKELY TO NAME NEW LEADER OUTSIDE OF GAZA 5:58 WHAT NEXT FOR IRAN’S AXIS OF RESISTANCE?
