Yahya Sinwar, one of Israel's most wanted men, has been notably absent since the outbreak of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in October 2023. However, after nearly a year of silence, Sinwar resurfaced in mid-September with a series of public statements.
On September 10, Sinwar issued his first statement since the war, extending congratulations to Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune for his election victory. This message was reportedly conveyed through Hamas' Telegram channel.
