President Joe Biden welcomed the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, calling it a good day for Israel, the United States, and the world. Israeli forces hunted Sinwar for over a year, and his killing is expected to have a significant impact on the Middle East crisis. Biden praised Israeli special forces and compared the relief in Israel to the feeling in the U.S. when Osama bin Laden was killed. However, Biden also emphasized the need to end the conflict in Gaza and discussed the opportunity for a political settlement that provides a better future for Israelis and Palestinians. Sinwar was Hamas' leader in Gaza and his death could escalate violence or remove a roadblock to progress in the region.
