Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s days “are numbered,” a senior Biden administration official said Thursday, vowing to make sure justice is served.
“I think it’s safe to say his days are numbered… He has American blood on his hands; 38 Americans were killed on October 7, and he is still holding a number of American hostages,” the official told reporters during a call to discuss National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan’s trip to Israel and Palestine.
“So, it doesn’t matter how long it takes, but justice will be served,” said the official who was speaking on condition of anonymity.
Sinwar and a handful of other Hamas officials planned the October 7 attack on Israel, killing over 1,000 people and taking hundreds more hostage. It was one of the deadliest attacks Israel has ever faced.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday the 12-day war with Iran had created opportunities for Israel, and the first was the return of hostages held in Gaza by Palestinian militants who attacked Israel on October 7, 2023.
Doha is working to revive negotiations for a lasting ceasefire in Gaza, capitalizing on the momentum created by the recent truce between Israel and Iran.
On June 25, the Democratic voters of New York City—home to the largest Jewish population outside Israel—chose a mayoral candidate who has called for the dismantling of the Jewish state.
