Hamas has elected a former militant commander as its political leader in the Gaza Strip, an official for the Islamist movement said Monday, indicating the growing influence of the group’s armed wing in the Palestinian enclave.. . . . .

Israeli security officials consider him one of the most hawkish members of Hamas. After his arrest, he was convicted of killing Israeli soldiers and sentenced to four life sentences. He was released as part of a prisoner exchange in 2011. The U.S. State Department added him in 2015 to a list of designated terrorists.

But not to worry, world renown Mideast expert and all around man about town Jared Kushner, fresh off his successful tour as Donnie's son-in-law will handle it the same way he has handled all of the other Middle East problems he has dealt with. Oh wait a minute, he hasn't dealt with any yet.

Maybe Trump will have Sinwar as a guest at Mar-a-Lago, the guy looks like about an 8 handicap to us.
