Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israeli forces will press on until the end following the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Netanyahu's remarks were captured on camera during a brief statement to Israeli media on Saturday, although the exact location of his address remains undisclosed.
Expressing pride in Israel's soldiers and citizens, Netanyahu emphasized the significance of eliminating Sinwar, whom he referred to as the 'master murderer.' He reiterated Israel's commitment to persevere in what he described as a 'war of resurrection,' asserting that nothing would deter them from pursuing victory.
White House national security communications adviser John Kirby suggested that Sinwar's death could serve as a turning point in efforts to negotiate a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict. The killing of Sinwar, who was implicated in orchestrating the October 7, 2023 attacks, marked the culmination of a year-long mission by Israel.
Despite the blow dealt to Hamas with Sinwar's demise, the militant group has vowed to persist in its resistance. Hamas has underscored that the loss of leaders, including Sinwar, does not signify the end of its movement, signaling its determination to continue the fight.
