It is the first statement from Hamas after the death of its top leader, although Sinwar’s death is not explicitly confirmed. “Hamas is a liberation movement led by people seeking freedom and dignity, and this cannot be eliminated,” he said in a statement.
The Islamic organization Hamas sent a message to Israel this Friday, after the death of its top leader and mastermind of the October 7 attacks, Yahya Sinwar, was confirmed last Thursday, warning that the death of its leaders “does not even mean the end of the movement nor that of the struggle of the Palestinian people.
This is the first statement from Hamas after the death of its leader in armed clashes with Israel in southern Gaza, although the group has not explicitly confirmed Sinwar’s death.
“Hamas is a liberation movement led by people who seek freedom and dignity, and this cannot be eliminated,” said a statement signed by the political bureau’s head of political and international relations, Basem Naim.
Sinwar’s death could mark a before and after in the course of the regional conflict. Hamas has apparently been beheaded, as Sinwar was one of the few survivors in the Hamas hierarchy after the assassination of political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh and army chief Mohamed Deif this summer.
