«A beautiful day for IsraelThe USA and the world. It’s the right opportunity to reach an agreement and put an end to it war in Gaza». Joe Biden And Kamala Harris they salute the death of the leader of Hamas Yahya Sinwar and the removal of what has long been considered the major obstacle to reaching an agreement for the cease-fire and the release of hostages.
Despite the words of Benjamin Netanyahuaccording to which the war is far from over, the American administration finally sees an opening to try to reach a truce.
«There is an opportunity for a day after to Gaza without Hamas in power, and for a political solution that offers a better future for Israelis and Palestinians. Sinwar was an insurmountable obstacle to achieving these goals. This obstacle no longer exists”, were the very clear words of the American president.
The hope in Democratic Washingtonespecially on the eve of the elections, is obviously that of an acceleration in the negotiations: the Secretary of State Antony Blinken he has already spoken about it with the prime minister of Qatar. Without its leader, it observes among others the New York Times, Hamas may accept some of the requests of Israeland therefore facilitate an agreement. And on the other side the killing of Sinwar it could grant the Israeli prime minister an at least symbolic victory that he could use as political cover to soften his negotiating position.
Of course, the unknowns remain, and so on interviews whoever succeeds will have a great weight Sinwar. American intelligence reports CNNis already working to try to identify who will take his place. Among the possible successors there would be his brother, Mohammed Sinwar: If he took the lead, the negotiations would be over, according to American officials. There would be other possible candidates Khali Al Hayya And Khaled Meshaal.
To hope that without Sinwar it is easier to reach an agreement are also Rome, Paris And Berlin. «I hope that the passing of the leader of Hamas can lead to a cease-fire to Gaza», said the Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani. “I will say this to the Israeli leaders on Monday”, when he visits the country, “asking that we reach an agreement ceasefire to Gaza and in Lebanon», added the minister. His German colleague echoed him Annalena Baerbock: «We demand the laying down of arms and the immediate release of all hostages», he stated. The same request was made by the French president Emmanuel Macron.
The death of Sinwar will be at the center of the vertex a Berlin between Bidenthe German chancellor Olaf Scholzthe head ofElisha and the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The disappearance of the leader of Hamas has in fact forced us to review the agenda of the works, initially concentrated mostly on theUkraine. While the prime minister Giorgia Meloninot invited to the summit in Germanytomorrow will fly in Lebanon And Jordan for direct discussions with the protagonists of the Middle Eastern crisis.
