Sinwar Killing Spurs Gaza Hostage Hopes And Fears

Description

Middle East analyst Andreas Krieg warned killing Sinwar could embolden Netanyahu and harm the hostages' prospects.

"Netanyahu has done everything he can to torpedo any mediation talks, and he can now make the case that he's much closer with his military-only strategy," the King's College London analyst said.

"Getting the hostages back has not been a priority for Netanyahu, and I don't think that's going to be the case moving forward," Krieg added.
