BEIRUT, Lebanon — Hezbollah on Tuesday congratulated Yahya Sinwar on his selection as new political chief of Palestinian militant group Hamas following the killing last week of his predecessor Ismail Haniyeh.
Sinwar’s appointment affirms that “the enemy… has failed to achieve its objectives” by killing Hamas leaders and officials, a Hezbollah statement said.
It is also “a strong message” to Israel, the United States and allies that “the Hamas movement is united in its decision, solid in its principles, firm in its important choices, and determined” to continue on the path of resistance, the statement added.
