Israeli leaders responded to the news that Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar has been named the organization’s new commander by the leadership who live in hiding in Doha, the capital of Qatar.

Taking to X, Israeli foreign minister stated the election of Yahya Sinwar as the leader of Hamas must send a clear message to the world that the Palestinian issue is now completely controlled by Iran and Hamas.

“Iran is working to smuggle weapons into Jordan to destabilize the Jordanian regime and then flood the refugee camps in Judea and Samaria and the entire area with weapons and funding to establish another terror front from the east against Israel’s major population centres,” he alleged.
