Abu Hudhayfah Al-Ansari

Abu Hudhayfah Al-Ansari (أبو حذيفة الأنصاري)    is the current spokesman of the Islamic State. He was announced as the spokesman in a speech released by Al-Furqan Foundation media in August 2023. He replaced Abu Omar al-Muhajir as the spokesman of the Islamic State, who was arrested by Tahrir al-Sham.

History
In August 2023 he announced the killing of the fourth Islamic State Caliph, Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Qurashi, announcing Abu Hafs al-Hashimi al-Qurashi as his successor, and threatened to increase attacks after US withdrawal. Nothing is known yet about the identity of Abu Hudhayfah. In August 2023, Mina Al-Lami, a Jihadist specialist for BBC Monitoring, speculated on Twitter that Abu Hudhayfah is possibly an Iraqi. On January 2024, Abu Hudayfah released an audio discussing the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.
