Top Hamas official: New leader won’t bring ‘radical change’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSenior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk says the terror group’s new leader in Gaza will not bring “radical change.”
The statement follows the reported election of hardline militant Yahya Sinwar as Hamas’s new chief in the beleaguered Strip.
“The Hamas movement is institutional, and a change of leadership is not something that will bring radical change of its policies,” Marzouk tells the pan-Arab news channel al-Araby, without mentioning Sinwar by name.
There have so far been no official Hamas statements about the election of Sinwar.
