Death of Sinwar _ What’s next ? | Avi Melamed interviewed by DW – DEUTSCHE WELLE
Avi Melamed’s Background: Avi Melamed is a former Israeli intelligence official and adviser on Arab Affairs, providing insights into the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Reports on Senior Hamas Leaders: Israeli reports suggest the killing of three Hamas militants in Gaza, one of whom is believed to be Yaya Sinwar, a senior Hamas leader.
Potential Impact on Hostages and War: The death of Sinwar could potentially accelerate negotiations to bring Israeli hostages back and possibly end the war in Gaza.
Sinwar’s Role in Hamas: Yaya Sinwar is a key figure in Hamas, known for his brutality, especially in executing suspected collaborators and building Hamas’s military capacity.
Internal Hamas Tensions: Within Hamas, there has been a power struggle between Sinwar’s hardline faction and a more pragmatic faction advocating for a shift toward pragmatism.
Sinwar’s Influence: Sinwar has been instrumental in shaping Hamas’s hardline stance, including the planning of the October 7 attack on Israel, and he was a major obstacle to peace negotiations.
Effect of Sinwar’s Death on Peace: Sinwar’s death may remove a major obstacle to peace, as he was opposed to any agreement regarding the hostages or a potential truce with Israel.
Hostage Control in Gaza: It’s uncertain who has control over the hostages in Gaza, as they might be scattered across different locations, and no single Hamas leader may control all their whereabouts.
Speculation on Hostages’ Fate: There are reports suggesting Sinwar was hiding with some hostages, but it’s unclear if he had full control over their fates. Some hostages are believed to be dead, while others are in poor condition.
Israeli Objective: Israel’s primary goal remains the safe return of all hostages, though many are feared dead, and the remaining hostages are in dire conditions.
