Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Friday that the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar could make peace in Gaza more achievable. “I think it makes it easier,” Trump told reporters in Detroit during campaign events. Sinwar, 62, who was behind the deadly October 7 attack on Israel, was killed in an Israeli military operation in southern Gaza on Wednesday.
The October 7 attack, led by Hamas, resulted in the deaths of 1,200 people and the capture of about 250 hostages, according to Israeli officials. It also triggered the latest violent escalation in the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Trump added that he plans to speak with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu soon and criticized President Joe Biden’s administration for allegedly holding Netanyahu back. “Biden is trying to hold him back…and he probably should be doing the opposite,” Trump said. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have both expressed strong support for Israel but have also called for improving the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
According to Gaza’s health ministry, nearly 42,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s retaliatory offensive, with widespread displacement and a growing humanitarian crisis. Trump’s remarks aligned with those of Biden and Harris, who also viewed Sinwar’s death as a critical step toward ending the conflict.
Vice President Harris commented that “justice has been served” with Sinwar’s death, adding that the moment presents an opportunity to seek lasting peace and security for both Israel and Gaza.
Trump’s stance on continuing US support for Israel is a key point in his ongoing presidential campaign, particularly as Biden faces pressure over the US role in the conflict. Both candidates will be closely watched for their foreign policy positions ahead of the November 5 election.
