In Gaza, it is believed that the older generation closed an account with Sinwar after he removed key figures and led extensive changes, but their protest against his policy was to no avail.

In the video: Yahya Sinwar won another term as Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip (Walla!)
It was not a simple blow, maybe even a punch in the face by Yahya Sinwar.
The man who has symbolized Hamas and the Gaza Strip the most in recent years, found himself almost losing yesterday (Tuesday) in the elections to the Hamas political bureau in the Gaza Strip.
This political punch caused Sinwar to fall for a few seconds, after the first round of elections, but it was far from a knockout.
Bottom line, this afternoon, "Abu Ibrahim", the symbol of Hamas and the Gaza Strip, got back on its feet and returned slightly injured and scratched to win the fourth round of elections and become Hamas' strongest man in the Strip again.
So what exactly happened there that managed to surprise so many?

Sinwar and Awadallah, today (Photo: screenshot, without)
One of the keywords in Palestinian political jargon is "Muammar," a conspiracy.
Yesterday afternoon, when it became clear that Nizar Awadallah (Abu Obeida) had received more votes from Sinwar (Abu Ibrahim) in the election for the chairmanship of the Hamas political bureau in Gaza, it seemed that the "Muammar" had succeeded, and Sinwar was about to end his term in the last four years.
"The older generation, closed an account with him," explained a well-known Gaza commentator.
"Sinwar's big mistake has been that in the last four years, he has made a lot of changes and removed quite a few key figures, most of them from the veteran Hamas leadership, the founding generation and maybe a little younger. "A-Zahar, Fathi Hamad (themselves candidates for the presidency of the Political Bureau in Gaza - Israel), Mahmoud Issa, all went to his head."
According to the same commentator, this was a big surprise, even a dramatic one. "Why?
"Sinwar was the strong man of the Strip, the one who is considered the undisputed leader of the movement, for all its military, political and social arms, and in fact he received fewer votes than the old Nizar 'Awadallah."
"Sinwar has made a lot of changes and kept quite a few key figures away."
Voting in Gaza (Photo: screenshot, no)
However, the joy among Hamwar's opponents in Hamas did not last long.
In the second round, Sinwar already had an advantage (without getting the required number of votes - Israel) and in the third round he already received 160 votes out of 320 members of the Shura Council and the district leaderships, but needed only one vote to complete the victory. Strip to protest the policies of Sinwar and express dissatisfaction with his leadership and were also missing votes Sinwar victory in the third round. today at 16:00, again gathered members of the Shura Council, an attempt to complete the fourth round and then got Sinwar already 167 votes.
By the end of the month Or at the beginning of next month, elections will be held for the post of head of the Hamas General Political Bureau, which includes representatives from Gaza (as mentioned by Sinwar), the West Bank, abroad and the prisoners.
And there we have an even more interesting battle between Ismail Haniyeh, the current head, and his predecessor in office, Khaled Mashaal.
