Will Hamas under Sinwar be different? | Inside Story
Hamas has a new political leader.
Yahya Sinwar, described by some as a hardline strategist, spent more than two decades in Israeli prisons and now holds unprecedented power within the movement.
His appointment comes a week after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
Israel accuses him of masterminding the October attacks which led to Israel’s war on Gaza.
So with Sinwar at the helm, what are the prospects for a ceasefire?
And how will Hamas balance its political and military ambitions?
