What Yahya Sinwar's Death Means for the Hostages and the Future of Hamas | Amanpour and Company

After the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, President Joe Biden has told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to "make this moment an opportunity to seek a path to peace." As the images of Sinwar's death are seen across the region, many are watching to see how his death might influence the course of the Israel/Hamas war. Israel shows no sign of changing tack, despite references to "the beginning of the day after Hamas." To discuss what Sinwar's death might mean for the hostages and the Palestinians still suffering in Gaza -- and what Hamas might do next -- longtime hostage negotiator Gershon Baskin joins the show.
