Kamala Harris democratic presidential nominee‚ spoke at a Wisconsin university campus about the recent killing of Yahya Sinwar Hamas top leader. She suggested that this event might be a chance to finish the Gaza conflict
Harris stated that the war “must end so that Israel is secure hostages are freed‚ Gaza suffering stops and Palestinians can have dignity‚ security freedom and self-determination“. She added‚ “Its time for the day after to begin“
Outside the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where Harris was campaigning protesters shouted “Free free Palestine“. This showed the ongoing tensions surrounding the issue
Israels Foreign Minister Katz called Sinwars death a “military and moral achievement for the Israeli army“. Sinwar was a key planner of Hamas attack on southern Israel (which happened roughly a year ago) that started the war and caused problems across the Middle East
It gives us an opportunity to finally end the war in Gaza
The situation remains complex with different views on how to move forward. While some see Sinwars death as a turning point others continue to call for immediate action to help Palestinians
