New York, USA (Weltexpress). As reported in The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), citing sources, Mohammed Ibrahim Hassan Sinwar, head of the Essedeen-Al-Qassam Brigades, the Martyr Izz ad-Din al -Qassam, also written as Kassam Brigades or Kassem Brigades, is the new chairman of the Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (Hamas), the Islamic Resistance Movement in the Gaza Strip. The Kassam Brigades are considered the military wing of Hamas, but they are the military of the state, because the Gaza Strip is not just a strip of land, but a state with a national territory, a national people and a national authority.
Whether this state is loved or hated, respected or despised is as irrelevant as official recognition. The fact that the Gaza state has been the largest open-air prison in the world for years is also due to Zionist Jews and their supporters.
Mohammed Sinwar, who is said to have been born on 16 September 1975 in Khan Yunis, is the younger brother of Yahya Sinwar, who was murdered in October 2024 and was the leader of the party. Hamas is, above all, a political party, but it is also a welfare organisation. Its members not only offered clothing banks and soup kitchens, but also won elections against Fatah.
Sinwar, who was also head of the Khan Yunis Brigades, is ‘working to rebuild the militant group’ because its ability to fight has been severely compromised since the Israeli military operation began in the enclave, which is referred to as Palestinian, in October 2023, according to the sources. The inhabitants of the Gaza Strip are not Palestinians, but Arabs. Palestine is the name of a territory, a region. Both Jews and Arabs lived in this region. It is the land also known as Canaan, and later called Eretz Yisra’el. Experts and critics also speak of the Cisjordan. In fact, the area is located both in the State of Israel and in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, where the Arab Hashemite dynasty rules.
Back to the source, or rather to the sources of the WSJ, according to which the leadership of the Hama office operated in the Emirate of Qatar, officially the State of Qatar, renounced the election of a new leader after the death of Yahya Sinwar and decided to move to a collective leadership. Militant groups in the Gaza Strip refused to be led by Hamas or the Qassam Brigades and are currently operating independently under the leadership of Mohammed Sinwar. He was said to be close to the head of the movement’s military wing, Mohammed Deif, who was killed in the Israeli attack in July 2024.
Sinwar was heavily influenced by his older brother. Israeli authorities believe that Mohammed Sinwar was involved in the organisation of the Hamas attack on the State of Israel on 7 October 2023, as well as the abduction of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2006. In 2011, 1,027 Hamas supporters returned from Israeli prisons to the Gaza Strip, including Mohammed’s older brother Yahya Sinwar. On 7 October 2023, tensions in the Middle East flared up again when, unexpectedly for the uninformed public, fighters for the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades advanced from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory, killing residents of border settlements and kidnapping more than 240 hostages.
The leadership of the State of Israel responded by launching a military operation against the Gaza Strip and waging war. One of the declared aims was to eliminate both the military structures, in particular the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, and the political structures, in particular Hamas, and to release all hostages.
On 31 July 2024, the head of Hamas’ political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, was killed in a targeted Israeli attack in this unequal war, and on 16 October 2024, his successor Yahya Sinwar was killed. Now Mohammed Sinwar appears to be the new strongman of both the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades and Hamas.
On the one hand, the State of Israel is referred to as the only democracy in the Middle East, as a settler state and a Jewish state, and on the other hand as an invader state, an occupying state, a warmonger state, a terrorist state and an apartheid state.
