Thank you. Geoff: Welcome to the "News hour. " One of the world's most-hunted men is dead.
Sinwar was killed by Israeli troops yesterday in southern gaza. Today, and after DNA testing, Israel confirmed the mastermind of the October 7 attacks on Israel was indeed dead. Amna: Those terror attacks just over a year ago killed more than single day for Jews since the C were a necessary tool in reigniting the Palestinian cause.
But the war he helped launch, has destroyed gaza, and the lives of its people. But he also defined victory as his and the group's survival. And today, sinwar and nearly all of hamas' leadership is dead.
Geoff: We know Tony blinken is heading. To the region. What is his goal?
Nick: On hostages he hopes new leadership in hamas will be able to make a deal that sinwar is not. On the day after the U. S.
Has been negotiating with Arab partners to take over security in gaza as a transition to Palestinian authority governance but there is no agreement between Arab partners or with Benjamin Netanyahu. So the U. S.
Sees this as an opportunity but knows it will be difficult to translate it into progress.
