Mahmoud Ishtiwi

Mahmoud Ishtiwi was a senior member of Hamas who was executed by the group in February 2016 on suspicions of being homosexual. He described Mohammad Sinwar, the current leader of Hamas, as a 'monster' and a 'bad cop,' contrasting him with his brother Yahya Sinwar, whom he referred to as the 'good cop.' Ishtiwi's remarks highlighted the differing leadership styles within Hamas and showcased the internal dynamics of the organization.
