CAMERA Snapshots: Analyst: New Hamas Leadership is Emerging | Camera
Hamas, the U.S.-designated Palestinian Arab terrorist group that rules the Gaza Strip, has a new leader, writes Avi Issacharoff, a Middle East analyst and journalist (“Inside Hamas, a bitter and very personal battle for control,” The Times of Israel, March 19, 2016).
Yahya Sinwar has “emerged” as a “new leader” of the terror group. Sinwar is based in the Strip and lives in the Khan Younis refugee camp. By contrast, Khaled Mashaal—frequently described by press and policymakers as head of Hamas’ “military wing”—lives in reported opulence in the Gulf country of Qatar. Terrorist organizations, of course, while not exempt from fissures and factions and engaging in division of labor, do not have discrete “military” or “political” “wings” as sovereign nations do—their complementary segments all support their terrorist strategies.
