Israel's Victory in Gaza: A Choice to Make

Live Mint  

The death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar gives Israel an opportunity to declare victory and wind down the war in the Gaza Strip. Israel's military and intelligence services prefer a cease-fire than annihilating Sinwar's entire leadership team. Netanyahu is under pressure from the U.S. to treat Sinwar's elimination as a pivotal moment and revive the stalled effort to reach a cease-fire that frees the hostages. However, his right-wing coalition and many of his voters oppose any cease-fire deal that lets Hamas survive.
