Hamas, the Palestinian militant and political organization, is preparing for a significant transition as it has completed its internal elections across three regions. Sources from the organization indicate that the movement is now entering the final stage of electing the head of its political bureau. This election cycle is highlighted as an extraordinary process, with the new leader expected to manage the bureau for a one-year term before another round of elections is scheduled for the broader structures of the organization, which will last four years.

The race for the head of the political bureau is reportedly limited to two prominent figures within Hamas, Khaled Meshaal and Khalil Hayya. Sources suggest that an official announcement will be made shortly after the new head is chosen, likely coinciding with the month of Ramadan. This leadership change could have implications for the organization's direction and strategy, especially in the context of ongoing conflicts and negotiations related to Palestinian interests.

Additionally, Hamas has completed the election of a new Shura Council, a key advisory body that serves as a bridge between the political bureau and the leadership frameworks within the organization. According to the internal regulations of Hamas, the head and members of the political bureau are elected by a body comprising over 80 members from the general Shura Council, ensuring a level of democratic process within the organization's internal structure. This election marks a crucial point in Hamas's organizational evolution and its response to both internal and external pressures affecting Palestinian governance and resistance movements.
