After election standoff, Hamas reelects Yahya Sinwar as Gaza leader

Sources close to Hamas said that the race was an unprecedented challenge to the leadership of Sinwar, who was elected the group’s leader in 2017.

YAHYA SINWAR, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, has proven more than once he is pragmatic and is willing to deal with Israel.
