US Vice President Kamala Harris said the removal of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has made the world a safer place.
“Today in Israel” writes about this.
According to her, this moment opens up opportunities to end the conflict in the Gaza Strip. She stressed that ending the war must include the security of Israel, the release of hostages, an end to the suffering of Gazans, and the ability of the Palestinian people to live in dignity, security and the right to self-determination.
Harris also noted that the future of Gaza must be without Hamas power.
According to media reports, the terrorist organization Hamas is now at a crossroads.
After the liquidation of Yahya Sinwar, intensive consultations began within the Hamas leadership regarding the future actions of the organization. The Saudi newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reports that discussions within Hamas concern a possible change in strategy.
Sinwar, who played an important role in the radicalization of the movement, controlled key decisions by manipulating the appointment and removal of leaders. He became a de facto “overarching leader,” one source said, reinforcing the rigidity of the organization’s policies.
Many Hamas leaders outside Gaza supported Sinwar’s appointment after the death of Ismail Haniyeh. They are currently discussing next steps, and a review of the movement’s policies is possible, according to another source. Scenarios of transferring the center of control abroad and concessions that were impossible under Sinvar are considered.
Despite this major blow, analysts believe that Hamas will not disappear. Although the death of Sinvar will weaken the group, it will retain its influence. Experts note that, unlike Hezbollah, which receives support from Iran, Hamas is in a more isolated position and is limited in its ability to receive external assistance.
