Foreign Minister Israel Katz slammed the appointment of Yahya Sinwar as the leader of Hamas’s political bureau following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, al Jazeera reports.
On X, Katz said last night that the appointment was “another reason to bring about his [Sinwar’s] quick elimination and erasing the memory of this organisation from the face of the earth”.
Sinwar, 61, who leads Hamas in the Gaza Strip, is seen by Israel as the mastermind behind the October 7 attack.
