Hamas claimed Wednesday that it has reached an agreement on the general framework for a cease-fire with Israel.
Additionally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the killing of Hamas’s Gaza leader, Mohammed Sinwar.
Sinwar took over Hamas last October after his brother, Yahya Sinwar — who had masterminded the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks — was killed in Gaza, NBC News reported.
Speaking to the Knesset, Netanyahu said, “We eliminated Mohammad Deif, Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Sinwar.”
Israel killed Deif, who was in charge of Hamas’s military wing before Yahya Sinwar, last summer.
