Hamas political bureau member Osama Hamdan said that the negotiations to stop the war in Gaza will continue “under the supervision” of the group’s new leader, Yahya Sinwar, Israel’s most wanted figure in the strip. Mr Hamdan said that “the negotiations were conducted by the leadership, and Mr Sinwar was always present and he was not far from the negotiations”. He said that the team “that followed the negotiations under the leadership of the martyr [Ismail] Haniyeh will continue to do so under the supervision of Mr Sinwar”.
