Lol, calling it the "politburo" really reveals the particular type of brain rot you've got. Hamas are not a communist party, and they are not part of the Soviet union.

"But 'politburo' scary, even if I don't really have an idea of what it means. Some talking head on TV said it, and it sounded cool, so I'll repeat it online in order to sound knowledgeable".

Stick to words you know the meaning of maybe?

Have you ever taken a look at the structure of Hamas? Here, let me quote the most basic thing you could have read: the Wikipedia article.

the General Consultative Council (..) elects the 15-member Political Bureau (al-Maktab al-Siyasi) that makes decisions for Hamas.

"Politburo" is the german word for "political bureau". Simple as that. And has nothing to do with communism.
