Iran is Hamas strongest ally, which supports the group with money and weapons, and their blessing is key to who becomes Sinwar's successor,
I think the problem of aid diversion will continue, regardless of Sinwar meeting his end,
Hamas fighters have been diverting aid for their own personal profit, while also filling Hamas’s coffers and warehouses. I don’t see that ending any time soon, no matter who the next leader may be. This will likely continue if and when Hamas collapses entirely,
Hamas is certainly weakened but Sinwar's death is not a death blow for the militia,
Hamas will recover by drawing upon a new generation of leaders, redeveloping its military and technological capacity and appealing to young Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank who have been brutalized by the conflict with Israel,
Once the responsibility for truce negotiations is transferred to Hamas leaders abroad, these negotiations will be subject to external calculations as well, because all these leaders abroad are influenced by the capitals in which they are located, and it is perhaps through these capitals that Hamas can make concessions and initiate a new policy,
Instead of capitalizing on Israel's tactical success to declare victory in Gaza, push for a cease-fire that could also end hostilities in Lebanon, and negotiate a prisoner exchange that would secure the release of the 101 remaining Hamas-held hostages, Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu insisted the war would continue until the Israeli military liberated the captives,
This is a clear message to all of our enemies — the IDF will reach anyone who attempts to harm the citizens of Israel or our security forces, and we will bring you to justice,
If we have internal strife among ourselves, even physical conflict between Israelis, Israel will still survive. It will survive that and that’s the point. [But] anyone who cares about the future of Israel has to understand that without solving the Palestinian issue, Israel won’t survive,
Bibi is chained to two ministers in his coalition government who dream of rebuilding the temple of the kings of Judea … It is unbelievable. It is Messianic. And they are menacing every time there’s a chance of a deal to release the hostages, a deal with the Palestinians and the opportunity for compromise,
Rabin was the closest prime minister to getting a peace settlement in the Middle East. He hated the settlers — really hated them. And he was ready to settle with Abu Mazen [PLO leader Mahmoud Abbas], though he didn’t like him. He understood that’s the only solution for Israel’s future,
The mission is far from accomplished
Netanyahu’s interested in war lasting for as long as possible, so it leaves him in his seat,
Hezbollah had everything ready to pull off the same kind of action as Oct. 7. I cannot say that I’m against the Lebanon incursion. It is a necessity,
This is the path of each fighter,
I am not one of Sinwar’s followers. However, the Palestinian people and Gazans are saddened,
The greatest gift the enemy and occupation can give me is to assassinate me,
I know there will be people who grieve his passing, but I won’t be one of them, nor will, I think, most Palestinians in Gaza,
There is no optimism that there will be a peace process or truce,
On multiple occasions over the past months, Sinwar rebuffed efforts by the United States and its partners to bring this war to a close through an agreement that would return the hostages to their families and alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people,
