Shock election wine first rose to prominence as bureau leader Hchief under Hamas’s spiritual father Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the quadriplegic assassinated by Israel in 2004. He escaped assassination in September 2003 when an Israeli aircraft bombed a house where he and Yassin were meeting, yet Haniya was instrumental in securing a halt to Hamas attacks inside Israel since early 2005. The following year, he led Hamas to a shock legislative election victory over Abbas’s Fatah and became prime minister. The international community however refused to deal with any government in which Hamas participated until it renounced violence and recognised Israel and past peace agreements. The resulting deadlock led to mounting friction between Hamas and Fatah which culminated in Hamas’s seizure of Gaza. In July 2006, Israel bombed Haniya’s office during a massive but unsuccessful operation to free a soldier held by gunmen including Hamas militants. Always dressed impeccably in Western- style suits and a sharp orator, Haniya has exemplified Hamas’s internal struggle between the traditional and the modern, between resistance against Israeli occupation and mainstream politics. An eloquent advocate of the right to resistance, his strongly held beliefs that a future Palestinian state should be governed by laws “inspired by sharia” Islamic law have provoked concern in the West.
