I’m sure John and Odds will be a long shortly to twist it!!

Sinwar was the biggest obstacle in the ceasefire talks so I'm sure John and Odds will be as delighted as I am.

The death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar creates an opening for the immediate release of the remaining 101 hostages, Foreign Minister Israel Katz said in a message he sent to his global counterparts on Thursday night.

“Sinwar’s assassination creates a possibility for the immediate release of the hostages and could lead to a new reality in Gaza - without Hamas and without Iranian control,” Katz said.

“This is a great military and moral achievement for Israel and a victory for the entire free world against the evil axis of extreme Islam led by Iran.

“Israel needs your support and assistance now more than ever to advance these important goals together,” Katz stated.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

They let Israel (USA and her allies really) flex their muscles, when really all the West are doing, is inadvertently cultivating hatred and the next generation of even savvier terrorists. Scary.

You hope.

FFS.

Well, fwiw, I think it's a turning point.

The death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar creates an opening for the immediate release of the remaining 101 hostages, Foreign Minister Israel Katz said in a message he sent to his global counterparts on Thursday night.

Positive spin in terms of not knowing who or if anyone steps up to replace him.

“Sinwar’s assassination creates a possibility for the immediate release of the hostages and could lead to a new reality in Gaza - without Hamas and without Iranian control,” Katz said.

It seems the IDF stumbled on him rather than actually located and killed him. Above ground and said to be in the Khan Yunis area.

They have proved it is him via DNA. I recollect a Guardian article concerning USA hits on individuals Some had been killed more than once.
