Born in the Khan Yunis refugee camp, Sinwar, 61, was made Hamas' leader in Gaza in 2017. Since Oct. 7, Israel has considered him and other leaders to be "living on borrowed time."
Says Israel is the victim of genocide • "We cannot bend under global pressure no matter what. We have to eradicate Hamas. If we don’t, humanity will pay a huge price."
President Biden and other critics warn that Israel risks radicalizing new generation of terrorists in Gaza. No other country fighting a genocidal force has been held to this standard.
Hamas is attempting to manipulate the current fragile situation and portray kidnapped individuals as being in the hands of other factions in the Gaza Strip.
11 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza have diabetes, facing increased risks of blindness, amputation, heart attack, stroke, and even cancer due to a lack of medication.
The plan to assassinate Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, presented to Netanyahu, was detailed and ready for execution but was ultimately rejected by the prime minister.
