The execution of the Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwarchanges the keys to this war. After learning of his death, the United States and Europe are pushing to try to make this death a turning point. Joe Biden, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer and Olaf Scholz joined forces this Friday at the “Quad meeting”, largely focused on how to end the fighting in Ukraine as Russian forces advance east and aim for a ceasefire in Gaza.
The truth is that the elimination of the Hamas leader opens the door to a truce, or at least that is what the United States believes. After learning of his death, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, assured that it was “a Have a nice day.” “His hands were very bloodstained. It’s time to move on. Move towards a ceasefire in Gaza,” he added.
This vision is actually shared by European leaders such as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. For him, ““We hope that the death of Hamas leader Sinwar, responsible for the terrible terrorist attack, will now open a concrete possibility of a ceasefire in Gaza.”
Contrasted reactions after the execution
The ideologue of the October 7 attack was an obstacle. He belonged to the hard wing of Hamas and refused to negotiate. Without this, Western leaders say: peace is closer. But on the other hand, the reactions in the Middle East are different. In Israel They celebrated and toasted in the streets and even the lifeguards announced it over the public address system on the beach; In Gaza, however, Hamas supporters – not all Palestinians – mourned the death of their leader and prayed for him. That same Friday, a senior Hamas official threatened Israel that if the aggression does not stop, “The hostages will not return.”
From Iran, they are fueling the fire. His foreign minister, Abás Araqchí, says Sinwar’s death will be a source of inspiration to continue fighting against Israel.
Images of the murder
THE images of the murder from Israel to Yahya Sinwar, leader of Hamas, have been revealed. The shooting of an Israeli tank just 20 meters away ended the life of the terrorist, one of the masterminds of the October 7 attacks. At that point, they still didn’t know if it was him.
Netanyahu government propaganda released more videos and photos of what they found in their hideout. A sniper rifletwo other rifles and several magazines to be able to withstand an exchange of fire.
They also showed the rest of the sinwar material: another rifle, more magazines, a prayer book, gloves, a balaclava and more equipment typical of a militiaman. They even covered the images with much more everyday objects: a Palestinian passport, a pack of tissues, two prayer books, a small flashlight, a nail clipper, a wristwatch and many other things.
How did the execution take place?
The Israeli army was operating in this area when it detected three “terrorists” leak That’s when a tank attacked them. He demolished the building where they had taken refuge and there Israeli soldiers found the bodies of the three Hamas members, surrounded by rubble.
Although they were not certain, the characteristics of one of the bodies matched the profile of the Hamas leader. And after analyzing the victims’ DNA, they were able to confirm that one of the three dead is Sanwar, thanks to the samples they had when he was imprisoned in Israel.
Sinwar’s whereabouts have been a constant source of speculation since he has not appeared in public since the attacks more than a year ago, in which Israel considered him the mastermind. Considered one of the founders of Hamas’s military wing, Sinwar remained imprisoned in Israel from 1989 until 2011, when he was released in an agreed exchange to secure the surrender of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
