Hamas is in the process of choosing a new leadership
Over the past week, top Hamas leaders have gathered in Qatar to select a new leadership that has been the focus of the world's media. The visit comes amid nearly a year of conflict between Hamas and Israel in Gaza, with delegations from various Middle Eastern countries visiting.

The news that the party's previous political leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in an explosion in Tehran has shaken many of them. Israel is alleged to have carried out the attack.

Ismail Haniyeh's role in Hamas was quite important. He oversaw negotiations with Israel. He was balancing the interest of one part of his party's military wing to fight against Israel with the other's demand for an end to the conflict.

It was clear that his vacancy had to be filled quickly.At Doha's mourning ceremony, Hamas leaders lined up shoulder to shoulder inside a large white tent.

Inside the carpeted tent were beautiful chairs, decorated with pictures of Ismail Haniyeh. Hundreds of people gathered there to pay their respects to the late leader.

This scene was not just a memorial service - it was the end of an era and the beginning of a new era towards more extremism.
