Siwar, 62, is one of the few surviving enemies of Israel.
Sinwar believed that armed struggle was the only way to create a Palestinian state and was against Doha-based Hamas leaders like Ismail Haniyeh, who he called "hotel guys".
In turn, the Qatar leaders branded Sinwar a "megalomaniac".
Sinwar's grip on Hamas remained strong despite some dissent in Gaza.
