The United States is focused on tracking down Hamas’s Gaza chief, Yahya Sinwar, amid a new push by the White House to help Israel declare “total victory” so it can bring an end to the war on Gaza, US officials have told Middle East Eye.
On Monday, The Washington Post reported that the US was offering Israel new intelligence to help track Hamas leaders in exchange for Israel not launching the assault on Rafah.
That report was carried by some Israeli news outlets under the title: US withholding “sensitive intelligence” on Hamas from Israel. However, several current and former US and Arab diplomats, as well as defence and intelligence officials, told MEE it was highly unlikely the US would withhold information on Hamas from Israel.
I would bet a years salary that they’ll keep going even if they find and kill him. Hell, I bet they keep going if he offers himself to the Israelis as a sacrificial lamb to try to stop them from murdering civilians.
Edit: woah. As of this writing, the account that replied and downvoted this is about 9 minutes old. I have successfully inspired someone to join lemmy (yay 😄), but it seems they’re not the caliber of person whose going to improve the discourse here (aww 😞).
Yep. There has been nothing to indicate Israel gives a single shit about this guy.
Biden: “What if we hunted down Yayah Sinwat?”
Little Ben: “Who?”
Biden: “The Hamas chief.”
Little Ben: “Ooh, those guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.”
Like a fiddle. Again. Even after Biden admitted he got played at the start already. He’s not great at seeing things that are so obvious to the rest of the world.
It’s calling Netanyahu’s bluff. In the meantime, the IDF won’t be shelling the areas with US military presence.
Oh Bibi knows who he is, he’s been the one cashing the checks Bibi was writing.

The US and Israel are losing the propaganda war, they need a name for it’s news outlets to focus on and vilify. They know from experience that promoting hatred for one figurehead will stoke hatred for all Palestinians
Reminder that there’s zero chance that Netanyahu will stop after Sinwar is dead and this is just Biden being his lap dog and providing him with American military intelligence for free.
Are you saying that Biden should charge him for the information?
Just don’t provide the info. There’s no legitimate reason for Israel to be committing genocide against Palestinians and the US shouldn’t be complicit with it, let alone actively supporting it.
No Biden should definitely run a massive spy operation for israel for free and provide them with all the intel Netanyahu wants. The military runs on sunshine and rainbows after all.
Sorry, I’m not really good at picking up tone through text.
Is that sarcasm?
Oh look the War on Terror is back.
As long as there’s occupation and blockage there will be hundred of new Sinwar
The ninja turtles are on the job!
Hey I know, wait for him and his family to be enjoying an afternoon in their yard and drone strike the whole fucking block.
I hope they get him so justice can be served up for the countless lives lost due to the terror Hamas has done to the people of the world i pray that the people of Palestine can be free from the hands of a Dictatorship
