| | + | Yahya Sinwar’s correspondence with compatriots and mediators shows he is confident that Hamas can outlast Israel. |
| | + | For months, Yahya Sinwar has resisted pressure to cut a ceasefire-and-hostages deal with Israel. Behind his decision, messages the Hamas military leader in Gaza has sent to mediators show, is a calculation that more fighting—and more Palestinian civilian deaths—work to his advantage. |
| | + | “We have the Israelis right where we want them,” Sinwar said in a recent message to Hamas officials seeking to broker an agreement with Qatari and Egyptian officials.</small></blockquote> |
| | + | Report | Sinwar to Hamas officials in Qatar: "The Israelis are exactly where we want them to be." The leader of Hamas in Gaza made it clear in dozens of messages: Israel has more to lose from the war than we do • Sinwar completely ignoring the dead in Gaza: "necessary victims." ''N12'', 06.11.24.[https://www.mako.co.il/news-military/2024_q2/Article-ae9c8b99ac50091027.htm]. |
| | + | <blockquote><small> |
| | + | Yahya Sinwar recently said in a message to senior Hamas officials who are conducting negotiations with Qatar and Egypt in Doha that "the Israelis are exactly where we want them to be", as reported this morning (Tuesday) in the "Wall Street Journal". |
| | + | According to the American report, in dozens of messages he sent to senior Hamas officials in Qatar, Sinwar made it clear that he believed that Israel had more to lose from the war than the murderous terrorist organization. |
| | + | Sinwar also showed a complete disregard for the loss of human life in the Gaza Strip, noting that civilian casualties in "wars for national liberation" are "necessary sacrifices." In a letter dated April 11, after Ismail Haniyeh's family members were killed in an Israeli attack, Sinwar wrote: "Their deaths will breathe life into the veins of the nation this one, and will bring her to the rise of her glory and honor." |
| | + | Sinwar's ultimate goals, according to the report in the US, are the declaration of a permanent ceasefire, which will be considered for Hamas as a "historic victory over Israel", and the establishment of a Palestinian state. |
| | + | The public pressure among the residents of the Gaza Strip on the leadership of Hamas is increasing. Gazans who are not afraid to speak in front of the cameras protest the situation and fiercely attack Sinwar. "Crazy Sinwar threw a stone into the well," said an Gazan from Nuseirat in the center of the Gaza Strip. "The destruction he caused can earn him the title of the most successful Israeli general. We did not choose or authorize him. Hamas is serving Israel in the war. We ask - until when?"</small></blockquote></ref> |
