Killing of Hamas leader opens way for new Gaza ceasefire talks, Macron tells Israel

Published by

French President, Emmanuel Macron has told Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that the death of Hamas commander Yahya Sinwar offers a chance to begin a new round of ceasefire talks to put an end to the war in Gaza.

Macron’s office said, “The president expressed solidarity with Netanyahu after Hezbollah launched a drone towards the prime minister’s house on Saturday.”

Yahya Sinwar was killed On 16 October 2024. Tribune Online reported that “Sinwar, widely regarded as the mastermind behind the October 7, 2023, attack in Israel, was named Hamas’ new political head in August, following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh.

A senior Israeli official disclosed that troops identified Sinwar as likely being among the three militants killed during a heavy gun battle in Gaza on Wednesday, although the operation was not specifically aimed at eliminating him.”

The French president, whose administration has had increasingly tense public exchanges with Israel over the past few weeks, also reiterated previous calls for ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza and condemnations of Israeli army action toward UN forces in Lebanon. Israel has denied deliberately targeting peacekeepers in southern Lebanon amid the IDF’s ground offensive there.
