A source close to Hamas confirms that Ismail Haniyeh has been selected to serve another term as the Gaza-ruling terror group’s politburo chief.
Haniyeh is now set to remain politburo leader until 2025.
Haniyeh’s reelection comes several months after Yayha Sinwar, the Islamist organization’s leader in Gaza, was selected to serve a second term.
