CIA: Hamas Leader Facing Growing Pressure from Own Commanders to End Gaza War
(CNN) Alex Marquardt - The CIA has assessed that the leader of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, has come under increased pressure from his own military commanders in the past two weeks to accept a ceasefire deal and end the war with Israel, CIA Director Bill Burns said Saturday. Burns said Sinwar is facing pressure about being blamed for the enormity of the suffering in Gaza. U.S. intelligence officials believe Sinwar is hiding in the tunnels beneath Khan Yunis.
