Summary: President Joe Biden stated that the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by Israeli forces is a positive development for Israel, the U.S., and the world. He described it as an opportunity to negotiate the release of hostages and end the Gaza conflict.
Biden compared Sinwar's killing to the death of Osama bin Laden, emphasizing that terrorists cannot evade justice. He plans to discuss the situation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and explore pathways for peace and hostages' return.
