According to Hugh Lovatt, Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR). Deif was the master minder behind the planning of the 7 October attack because it was a military. Planning but Sinwar “would have probably been part of the planning and influence of the attack.”
Early Life and Background Hamas leader
Since his childhood, he was born in a refugee camp, and he has a political experience at the young age. In 1982, he was arrested for his part in the Muslim Brotherhood, the group that preceded Hamas and was jailed several years in Israel. In prison he strengthened his organisational skills and his contacts in the republican movement.
Rise within Hamas
Hastily, after his 2011 release, Sinwar rose through the ranks of Hamas leadership. He was a fighter and a commander which means he participated in various fight related operations and acts as the chief of Hamas military wing in Gaze. Thus, he was an important figure within the organization, or at least the party, as the members regarded him either as an unyielding leader or a rigid strategist.
In 2017 Sinwar was chosen to lead Hamas in Gaza, replacing Ismail Haniyeh. The management approach of this man is majorly indicated by coups, regional associations, as well as his preference for negotiation only when it is in the best interest of the organisation.
Leadership and Influence
The military structure and activities have also been sustained and managed under the command of Sinwar and Hamas have exercised frequent attack on Israel. He has openly supported the use of force to deal with Israeli occupation while all the time positioning himself within the political struggle.
Sinwar continues the strategy of counting on regional support, particularly on Iran’s support and also strengthening the position of Hamas in the context of the Palestinian political leaders.
Controversies and Challenges
It has not been totally without challenges since Sinwar came to power. He has come under a lot of criticism from the domestic media and the international media for holding a hard line in Israel Pale The latter has further been blamed for deepening the conflict and making it hard for the parties to engage in the peace process. Also, Gaza has its challenges regarding the economy and humanitarian crisis through which Hamas operates; more so, through frequent conflict and blockade situations.
Conclusion
Meanwhile, Yahya Sinwar plays an active role in the Palestinian leadership both now and in the continuing conflict with Israel. His stewardship of hamas is therefore a combination of war fighting and politics and religion making him a lynchpin of future gaza and thus Palestinian profile.
