Channel 14 military correspondent Noam Amir urged the elimination of Khalil al-Hayya, the newly elected head of Hamas's political bureau, calling him 'no less despicable than his predecessors.' The statement is a personal opinion, not an official Israeli policy.
Noam Amir, a military correspondent for Israel's Channel 14, issued a strong statement Monday evening regarding the election of Khalil al-Hayya as the new head of Hamas's political bureau. Amir wrote that al-Hayya 'must be eliminated,' adding that he is 'no less despicable than his predecessors in the role.' The comment appears to refer to previous Hamas leaders killed by Israel, including Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar. As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, al-Hayya was elected Hamas political bureau chief, succeeding Sinwar. The election was confirmed by Hamas sources. Amir's call is a personal opinion and does not represent official Israeli government or military policy. The statement was posted on Telegram and subsequently shared by the journalist's channel.
