US Lawmakers Hail Death of Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar 'Major Victory' for Israel | EWTN News Nightly

The death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is a significant moment in Israel's yearlong offensive against the militant group. Several US lawmakers are calling it a great victory. Representative Jared Moskowitz, Foreign Affairs Committee Member says, "This would be major victory for Israel and a victory for the world. Yahya Sinwar is the Osama Bin Laden of his time. He is solely responsible for the attacks of October 7, getting 1,200 Israelis killed, many of them civilians." House Speaker Mike Johnson and others applauded the killing of the leader. Senior Fellow at the Washington Institute and an expert on Arab-Israeli relations, Ghaith Al-Omari, joins to share what this news means for Israel and the US. Before the death was confirmed, Al-Omari said on social media in part, "Sinwar's death would be a game changer. No one among the remaining Hamas leaders left in Gaza is senior enough to fill his shoes and the Doha leadership is more susceptible to external pressure." He tells us what made him say this. Al-Omari discusses what more is known about the military strike that killed Yahya Sinwar and how Israel was able to find him.
