Hamas' new leader indicates it wants to 'double down' on 'violence as the answer'

Published 2024-08-07
Strategic Analysis Australia Director Michael Shoebridge says Hamas’ new leader indicates the terrorist group wants to “double down” on violence as the answer.

Hamas has named the man behind the October 7 attacks, Yahya Sinwar as their new leader following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh.

“It surprises me that Hamas really wants to double down on violence as the answer,” Mr Shoebridge told Sky News host Chris Kenny.

“But then it's in their charter that they want to exterminate Israelis and the state of Israel.

“So, I suppose it’s not that surprising.

“I think it sends a signal that there is going to be no negotiation anytime soon.”

    Nobody is talking about the hands of Sinwar in the killing of Haniya... It's a leadership conflict...
  • I think yaya sinwar should deliver his speech after his promotion.😂😂😂 Maybe he will go to iran to deliver a speech.
  • @JamesBond-vn1gh
    Well, Sinwar is guided by the "religion of peace", so he is allowed to push the same narrative.

  • @Anisky123
    Sin War is named the butcher by his own people.
  • Sinwar looks like a supervillain straight from a Hollywood studio's central casting.

    You killed the moderate negotiating politician and you got a man of war. Netanyahu is probably now hitting himself with Sinwar's shoe that his army found in Gaza.😂😂
  • @jimmcfadzen7776
    When you start painting War criminal Netanyahu with the same brush as Sinwar, then your comments can be taken with some legitimacy. However, the civilized world know only too well your sense of exceptionalism and readiness to parrot and glorify all that is uttered by your country's chief patron. Shameful Australia just can't help themselves.
