Hamas is reportedly in the process of electing a new leader to replace Yahya Sinwar, who was killed by Israel. The election, conducted by Hamas' Shoura Council, is expected to conclude soon, with Khalil Al-Hayya and Khaled Meshaal identified as frontrunners. Both reside in Qatar and are part of the current five-man leadership council. This leadership transition occurs amid ongoing conflict with Israel, international pressure to disarm, and internal criticism within Gaza due to the war's heavy toll.
