In response to remarks by the leader of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in Gaza, the Israeli Prime Minister said that Yahya al-Sinwar should not win.

Al-Sinwar added that the resistance prefers not to turn the battle into a religious battle, but if the leaders of the occupying regime (Israel) and the extremists want it, the resistance will welcome it.
 
The head of Hamas' political bureau also called on the Raam Party (United Arab List) to leave the coalition of the Zionist regime's cabinet in order to cause it to collapse.
 
The Prime Minister of the occupying regime in Al-Quds, Naftali Bennett, stated that Hamas should not be allowed to win the next internal elections and overthrow the Zionist government.
 
Israeli media today, quoting a site close to Mossad, suggested assassinating al-Sinwar.

Yahya Al-Sinwar is the current Palestinian leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, having taken over from Ismail Haniyeh in February 2017. He was one of the co-founders of the security apparatus of Hamas. He is the second most powerful figure within Hamas.
