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?

Presenter: Mohammed Jamjoom

Guests:
Omar Rahman -- Fellow at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs who focuses on Middle East geopolitics and American foreign policy in the region

Beverley Milton-Edwards-- co-author of 'Hamas: The Quest for Power' and a former EU special adviser to the Middle East peace process.

Norman Finkelstein -- Political scientist who specialises in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

  • Imagine being born into oppression and occupation, subjected to humiliation and brutality since childhood, jailed for 22 years. This means your whole life was under serious danger, that alone is enough to make any human being a bitter and dangerously aggressive individual who would seek vengeance at any cost and matter what it takes.. Most of these people have experienced the terror and torture of the Israeli regimes and therefore no longer fear any death because there is a certain difficulty that a person will experience in life that Will remove all fears in his mind...

  • I don't understand hamas for naming sinwa as a leader while he still in Gaza I don't get it and Israel knows very well that he is there what's is going to stop Israel for not going after him and that will lead to the death of more innocent woman and children for God sake
  • Sinwar is mad smart intelligent brave and soft heart person. Let me tell you something special about him. He will die but he doesn't stand back and doesn't allow anyone to take his right. This is his personality. But very kinds person trust me. Clean heart.
