he also often just summarizes reporting from other outlets and distills it down to the key points. like he'll often have a bullet point tweet and then a link to a WSJ article (helpful for me since I'm paywalled out)

Sinwar believes he has already won the war. He may be right. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, sourced by Egyptian and Qatari diplomats who have negotiated with him, he has never been more optimistic:"

According to Arab mediators dealing with Hamas, Sinwar believes that he has already won the war, whether or not he survives it, by opening the world’s eyes to the suffering of Palestinians and bringing the conflict to the forefront of global affairs.

Sinwar’s aim in the long run, the mediators say, is to lift the siege of the strip, end Israeli military pressure on Hamas and ensure the group’s survival. The group is seeking international “guarantees” for any cease-fire, another gambit to ensure its survival after the war. The U.S., Qatar, and Egypt would be the guarantors of the proposed deal, but Hamas has said that this isn’t enough, according to the mediators.

In some of the communications relayed by the military wing to Arab mediators, Sinwar indicated that time was on his side and that the longer he waited, the more international pressure built on Israel and its activities in Gaza. He is also banking on conflict within the Israeli government to eventually force Netanyahu from power."

By drawing out talks with Israel for months and carefully manipulating international opinion, Sinwar has managed to turn a tactical defeat into a strategic victory.
