Let Israel Finish the Job and Crush Hamas
(Telegraph-UK) Con Coughlin - Israel will not pay any heed to the naive arguments made by Western leaders that Hamas terrorist mastermind Yahya Sinwar's demise should result in the immediate implementation of a ceasefire. Israel's achievement in neutralizing the Iranian-backed terrorist responsible for orchestrating the worst atrocity in the Jewish state's history might never have happened if Israel had accepted their previous calls for restraint. This is why, rather than taking Sinwar's demise as an opportunity to scale down its offensive in Gaza, Israel will ignore the siren calls of Western leaders and double down on achieving its stated goal of utterly destroying Hamas as a terrorist entity. Unlike Western leaders, the Israelis understand the importance of demonstrating that violence will never be rewarded. If Hamas is allowed to survive in any form in Gaza, then it will simply send a signal to Tehran that its terrorist campaign against Israel will ultimately succeed.
