Yahya Sinwar: ‘Israel’s Most Dangerous Man’
Yahya Sinwar: ‘Israel’s Most Dangerous Man’

The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, has officially announced Yahya Sinwar as the new head of its political bureau. Sinwar succeeds the late Ismail Haniyeh, who served as the leader of the Islamic movement up until Israel assassinated him in Tehran last week.

The social media is buzzing about the news of the selection of Sinwar as the next chief of the political bureau.

Many say the selection of Yahiya Sinwar to lead Hamas is being described as “Israel’s worst nightmare now unfolding.”

Israeli analyst Avi Issachharoff says Hamas has chosen the most dangerous person to lead it while one Israeli officer tweeted “we [Israel] made a mistake in assassinating Haniyeh so Sinwar becomes the head of Hamas.”

Hamas’s quick and unanimous selection of Sinwar as president demonstrates the movement’s vitality, said Osama Hamadan, head of Hamas in Beirut.

Hamas’s message is that it has chosen someone who has been entrusted with the fight on the ground in Gaza for more than 300 days, he added.

The Israeli Walla website stated that sirens went off in Ashkelon and Sderot after Sinwar’s appointment was announced.

Sinwar, a prominent leader within Hamas, is deemed to be the architect of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation on 7 October, 2023, which inflicted significant human and military losses and shook the image of Israel’s intelligence and security agencies before the world, the Quds News Network reported.

And as a result, Israel announced that Sinwar’s elimination is one of the objectives of its offensive in the Gaza Strip.

Sinwar is considered one of Hamas’s most knowledgeable leader about the Israeli mindset. He is also regarded as one of ‘the hawks’ within the movement, which can influence the course of negotiations on a prisoner exchange deal. This comes after Hamas, under Haniyeh, had shown significant flexibility the Quds website reported.

Israel Kills Two Al Jazeera Journalists
Israel Kills Two Al Jazeera Journalists

Israel killed Al Jazeera correspondent Ismail al-Ghoul and cameraman Rami Al-Rifi in an airstrike, Wednesday evening, while covering people’s reactions around the destroyed home of the late Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh who was martyred by an Israeli missile strike where he was staying in Tehran earlier that day.

Israeli warplanes bombed the roof of a house adjacent to the destroyed home of the late martyred leader in the Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza with a number of other journalists. They were forced to withdraw quickly but an Israeli warplane directly targeted their car, instantly killing journalist al-Ghoul and his cameraman al-Rifi.

Earlier in the day, al-Ghoul appeared on Al Jazeera to report on people’s reactions to the assassination of political bureau chief Haniyeh.

Al Jazeera Journalist Anas al-Sharif confirmed an Israeli warplane directly bombed al-Ghoul and Al Jazeera cameraman Al-Rifi, which led to the severing of their heads according to the Palestine Information Center.

The Palestinian Journalists Protection Center (PJPC) condemned the killing of journalists Ismail al-Ghoul and Rami al-Rifi during their coverage of the bombing of the house of the late Hamas leader and which was reduced to rubble.  

Al-Ghoul worked as a correspondent for the Al Jazeera News Channel in Gaza City, and al-Rifi worked as a photojournalist for the same satellite station for months during the ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.

The PJPC condemned the murder of these journalists, stressing the need for urgent and immediate international intervention to stop the unprecedented Israeli targeting of media professionals in the Gaza Strip.

It stated the continued international silence on these massacres gives the Israeli army the green light to kill more Palestinian journalists. Since 7 October at least about 165 journalists were killed through Israeli fire according to the Gaza Government Media Office.

Al-Ghoul was previously arrested by the Israeli occupation forces during its second  storming al-Shifa Medical Complex last March in which it completely destroyed the hospital.

Erdogan: Haniyeh’s Assassination is ‘Zionist barbarism’
Erdogan: Haniyeh’s Assassination is ‘Zionist barbarism’

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned Wednesday the assassination of Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran as reported in Anadolu.

“I strongly condemn and curse the treacherous assassination carried out in Tehran against Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh,” Erdogan said on X.

It was “a despicable attempt to undermine the Palestinian Cause, the glorious resistance of Gaza, and the rightful struggle of our Palestinian brothers, aiming to demoralize, intimidate, and suppress them,” he added.

Erdogan emphasized that this assassination mirrors previous attacks on Palestinian figures like Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and Abdul Aziz al-Rantisi, asserting that “Zionist barbarism will once again fail to achieve its goals.”

He called for a united stance from the Islamic world to end the oppression in Gaza and reaffirmed Türkiye’s commitment to supporting the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Erdogan concluded with a prayer for Haniyeh, extending condolences to his family and the Palestinian people.

Hamas announced early Wednesday that Haniyeh was killed in an Israeli airstrike on his residence in the Iranian capital Tehran.

The Iranian state television also reported Haniyeh’s death, noting that an investigation into the assassination is ongoing and that the results will be announced soon.

Israel has made no immediate announcement about the assassination according to the Turkish news agency.

Haniyeh’s Murder Will Not Flake The Resistance
Haniyeh’s Murder Will Not Flake The Resistance

The assassination of the Hamas political bureau Ismail Haniyeh, Wednesday, in Tehran shows there was a clear security breach, and Israel was looking for an opportunity to carry out the assassination and found it in the Iranian capital, said military and strategic expert Nidal Abu Zeid.

Although he didn’t elaborate on the security breach, he said the assassination will not have an impact on the war in Gaza, saying the Palestinian resistance will not be shaken by the martyrdom of one of its leaders, Abu Zaid told Jo24.

Hamas is an ideology that will continue and grow among the Palestinian masses despite the great sacrifices it makes. Already over 38,000 people have been killed in Gaza by Israeli warplanes, tanks and drones not to mention that over 90,000 injured.

These sacrifices by its  leaders and elements in the field of Palestinian fighters from different factions will only increase their will, determination and resolve, he added.

Abu Zeid expects the assassination of the Hamas leader who was elected to run the Hamas organization in 2017, will raise the level of military operations by the Palestinian resistance. He said revenge for the murder of Haniyeh who was killed along with one of the bodyguards on the streets of Tehran will not be delayed and Hamas along with its Izz Al Din Al Qassam military wing will respond quickly.

Abu Zeid explained that the resistance operations will continue to pressure the Israel military occupation, especially in northern Gaza, to withdraw the remaining units of the 98th Paratroopers Division, as happened lately in eastern Khan Yunis, and inspite of the new wave of continual civilian displacements from the city.

He predicted that the losses of the Israeli occupation forces will rise in the coming period, and that the Palestinian resistance will carry out operations that will surprise Israel with new tactics in light of the state of crisis and caution it is experiencing, especially after the unconvincing response in the southern suburb of Beirut and after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh.

In a statement, Wednesday morning, Hamas said the assassination of chief of the political bureau was a “treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tahran.”  

One of his body guards was also killed on the attack on his residence.

Haniyeh was in Tehran to attend the inauguration of new Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Tuesday. It was his first time to be seen in public.

Will Netanyahu Get to Address Congress?
Will Netanyahu Get to Address Congress?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considering avoiding a stopover in Europe on his way to the US over fears that the International Criminal Court (ICC) is readying to issue an arrest warrant against him over the Israeli army’s crimes in Gaza according to Anadolu.

Netanyahu is to travel to the US and deliver a speech before the US Congress on July 24. He is also expected to possibly meet US President Joe Biden.

But there is much speculation about his coming trip with many on the social media woundering how he will get to Washington amidst the logistics involved in flying non-stop.

On 20 May, ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan requested arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip. Khan also requested warrants for three of the Hamas group’s top leaders including its chief Ismail Haniyeh.

Everyone is waiting for the arrest warrants to become effective and many think they could be any time soon.

Israeli KAN public broadcaster said Netanyahu’s office reviewed the matter of stopping in Europe on his way to Washington as his plane is unable to make a transatlantic flight while carrying a full load of passengers.

His office reviewed the option of a stopover in the Czech Republic or Hungary; these two countries are seen as Israeli friends and called ICC arrest requests “unacceptable.”

KAN, however, noted Netanyahu in the end decided to go for a direct flight to Washington with a limited number of passengers on board.

While the US is not an ICC member, receiving Netanyahu despite an international arrest warrant could expose it to much criticism.

Israel also is not an ICC member, whereas Palestine was accepted as an affiliate in 2015.

Set up in 2002, the ICC is an independent international body not affiliated with the UN or any other international organization, and its decisions are binding.

Israel, flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since an Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Hamas.

Nearly 38,200 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 87,900 others injured, according to local health authorities the Turkish News agency reported.

Nine months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.

Israel stands accused of genocide at the ICC, whose latest ruling ordered it to immediately halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6 according to the Turkish news agency.
