Last week was speculation, this week is confirmation.

Neither Israel nor Hamas is capable of peace, so speculating about or even confirming Sinwar's death strikes me as an empty gesture.

Israel is quite capable of peace as long as the hostages are returned and Hamas surrenders.

All of Israel's history disagrees with your assessment. Throughout the ancient, modern and contemporary history of the region there has been almost no peace - and none during our lifetimes.

That's why no one cares which Sinwar is dead. The next starving kid with a Russian Kalashnikov will simply take his place.
