And it could bring the devastating war in Gaza closer to an end, experts say – if Israel and its allies can seize the opportunity.
Before the war, power in Hamas was decentralized – with Gaza political chief Sinwar just one of many leaders, Chorev said.
Shira Efron, a senior director of policy research at the Diane and Guilford Glazer Foundation said Sinwar’s killing gives Netanyahu the chance to claim a victory.
Sinwar’s killing could also pave the way for a hostage and ceasefire agreement, since he was believed to be one of the main blockers of a deal.
Chorev, from Tel Aviv University, added that Netanyahu could see Sinwar’s killing as a moment to cement his legacy.
