In more news from Gaza, Hamas has selected Khalil al-Hayya as its new leader, filling a role left vacant for nearly two years after Israel assassinated its former head, Yahya Sinwar, in October of 2024. Al-Hayya was part of negotiations with President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff last October. Before that, he survived an Israeli airstrike on a residential complex in Qatar’s capital Doha last September. That attack killed one of al-Hayya’s sons.
