Israel must use the death of Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader, as a moment to agree to a Gaza ceasefire, the Prime Minister said on Friday, as he warned there was no “military solution” to the conflict.

Mr Biden said Mr Sinwar’s killing was a “good day for Israel, for the United States, and for the world”, with officials in Washington expressing muted optimism that his death may remove a key obstacle in ceasefire talks that have so far failed to produce a breakthrough.

Israel’s military announced they killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar Thursday, a chief architect of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel that sparked the war in Gaza.
