After a year of persecuting him with all the means at their disposal, which are many, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have ended – somewhat coincidentally – the life of the top leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, in an armed confrontation. in Rafah. The death of the leader, who is credited with conceiving and directing the bloody terrorist attacks and the taking of Israeli hostages on October 7, has raised hopes in certain political circles and some governments that Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu can claim it as the definitive victory over Hamas, and thus usher in the beginning of the end of the war in Gaza.
The President of the United States, Joe Biden, has urged the Israeli Government to take that path, which would involve the release of the hostages still held by Hamas, although a few days before the elections its capacity for influence is practically nil. Also other governments – which are repelled by the genocide that the Government of Israel is committing in Gaza, although they do nothing to prevent it – and part of the Israeli public opinion, tired of the war, pressure the prime minister in the same direction. But it does not seem that Netanyahu, who will undoubtedly take advantage of this death to increase his popularity – already on the rise – among the Jewish population, is willing to end now his war policy that is providing him with such good returns.
