Following the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, experts suggest that Israel will continue to grapple with longstanding issues related to its occupation and siege of Palestinian territories. While Sinwar's demise may weaken Hamas, it does not eliminate the underlying problems that persist in the region.
