Reports indicate that Mohammed Sinwar, a Hamas leader, may have been killed in an airstrike, prompting discussions on the need for a replacement for Hamas in Gaza. Despite significant casualties among Hamas leadership over 19 months of conflict, there has been no clear strategy to capitalize on their weakened state or to establish alternative governance in Gaza. The current situation leaves a power vacuum filled by Hamas, with no evident plan to introduce non-Hamas leadership or to leverage opportunities arising from the group’s diminished capabilities.
