By electing a figure who embodies resistance and martyrdom, they have once again proven that they remain steadfast in their commitment to continuing the path of Islamic Resistance, the message reads.
The Zionist regime is compelled to accept that despite all the crimes it has committed, it has not only failed to stop the resistance, but Islamic Resistance today, stronger than ever, will continue its dignified path, it added.
The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) announced in a statement the election of Khalil al-Hayya as head of its political bureau, succeeding the martyr Yahya Sinwar, the former head of Hamas's political bureau.
Yahya Sinwar served as the head of Hamas's political bureau for approximately two months and ten days (from August 6, 2024, until his martyrdom on October 16, 2024).
He succeeded Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated on July 31, 2024.
