Sinwar said to reject Khaled Mashal as new Hamas leader

Oh dear. How humiliating for him.

[IsraelTimes] As consultations are ongoing inside Hamas
Hamas

..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
to choose a successor to slain politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
, the terror group’s leader in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Yahya Sinwar is said to be opposed to the appointment of Khaled Mashaal, one of the two frontrunners to the title.

They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
, and the message Sinwar conveyed was that he would prefer someone with a stronger relation with the Iranian leadership.

Haniyeh’s successor will be tapped by Hamas’s politburo and by its Shura Council, a secret consultative body comprising religious and political figures.

Pundits believe that the two frontrunners are Mashaal, a founding member of Hamas’s politburo who helmed the terror group between 2004 and 2017, and Khalil al-Hayya, a powerful figure within Hamas who was close to the slain leader.

#2 Pretty obvious Sinwar is the real leader, and the so-called political leader is just a figurehead. Like a shogun vs the emperor.
