With the confirmation of Hamas leader Yihya Sinwar’s death, there are news hopes in Israel for the renewal of the negotiations with Hamas on the release fo the 101 Israeli hostages still held by Hamas.
Most Israelis want to see a hostage deal that will bring back the hostages still alive, and those who died in captivity. However the Israeli government, controlled by the ultra-right members, refuse any compromise.
With the US Elections in two weeks, President Biden is reluctant to apply additional pressure on Israeli Primeminister Netanyahu.
Hamas, with no effective leadership in Gaza, is delaying any concrete response.
So what next?
