President Biden: Death of Yahya Sinwar "a Good Day for Israel, the U.S., and the World


(White House) President Joe Biden said Thursday: "Israeli authorities informed my national security team that a mission they conducted in Gaza likely killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. DNA tests have now confirmed that Sinwar is dead. This is a good day for Israel, for the United States, and for the world." "As the leader of the terrorist group Hamas, Sinwar was responsible for the deaths of thousands of Israelis, Palestinians, Americans, and citizens from over 30 countries. He was the mastermind of the October 7th massacres, rapes, and kidnappings. It was on his orders that Hamas terrorists invaded Israel to intentionally - and with unspeakable savagery - kill and massacre civilians, a Holocaust survivor, children in front of their parents, and parents in front of their children." "Over 1,200 people were killed on that day...including 46 Americans.... Sinwar is the man most responsible for this, and for so much of what followed....Israel has had every right to eliminate the leadership and military structure of Hamas....There is now the opportunity for a 'day after' in Gaza without Hamas in power."
