IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari commented on Tuesday evening, in an interview with the Saudi Al-Arabiya channel, on the appointment of Yahya Sinwar to replace Ismail Haniyeh as head of Hamas’ political bureau, as reported by Israel National News.

"There is only one place for Yahya Sinwar, and it is beside Mohammed Deif and the rest of the Oct 7th terrorists," said Hagari, adding, "That is the only place we're preparing and intending for him."

Foreign Minister Israel Katz also commented on Tuesday on Hamas’ announcement and said, “The appointment of arch-terrorist Yahya Sinwar as the new leader of Hamas, replacing Ismail Haniyeh, is yet another compelling reason to swiftly eliminate him and wipe this vile organization off the face of the earth.”
