Hamas is outside the Palestinian consensus that recognizes Israel, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said in a press conference at the Munich Security Conference.
"There must be accountability for how Hamas acquired so much power in Gaza and why it was funded to increase the rift with other peace loving Palestinian factions."
Joe Biden is expected to use Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to wind down the war in Gaza, but in the waning months of his term the U.S. president may lack leverage to bend the Israeli leader to his will.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, mastermind of the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that triggered the Gaza war, was killed on Thursday, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said.
Israel said on Thursday that Yahya Sinwar, the overall leader of Hamas and the architect of the Palestinian group's Oct. 7, 2023 attacks on Israeli soil, had been killed.
