Yahya Sinwar, the leader of #Hamas in the Gaza Strip, won another term after defeating the movement's senior official Nizar Awadallah • #Sinwar victory is #Iran's victory in the influence of the movement's leadership against the Muslim Brotherhood axis led by Qatar and Turkey. 
Yahya Sinwar's victory is the #Iranians’ victory. He also serves as the leader of the military wing, in addition to his political role as the leader of Hamas in the #Gaza Strip. Sinwar has discovered a pragmatic approach in the last four years.
He maintained good relations w/ #Egyptian intelligence and Muhammad Dahlan & supported the Egyptian-mediated truce understandings w/ #Israel, he also maintained #Qatar's monthly financial assistance to the Gaza Strip & continued the process of strengthening the military arm:
: developing new weapons, smuggling weapons into the #Gaza Strip, building rations Penetrating and cultivating the power of #Hamas' naval commando, which is supposed to land a strategic surprise on #Israel.
#Hamas has managed to create a media spin that allegedly shows that it is conducting "democratic proceedings" in contrast to the #Fatah movement, and Mahmoud Abbas is openly threatening to kill, imprison and expel any senior member of the movement who opposes it. Independent in
The eyes in the #Gaza Strip are now focused on the election results for the chairmanship of the movement's political bureau, to be seen whether #Iran will continue to influence the movement's leadership and the center of gravity in decision-making will remain in the Gaza Strip.
If Khaled Mashaal is re-elected as head of the new political bureau, it will be a blow to Shiite #Iran and a victory for the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood axis, led by #Qatar and #Turkey. There has been tension btw Khaled Mashaal & the military wing of Hamas since Operation Eitan.
