Meanwhile, the current vice president and presidential candidate in the upcoming US elections, Kamala Harris, said about the death of the Hamas leader, that Israel's killing of the mastermind of the October 7, 2023 attack created an opportunity to "finally end the Gaza war."

In a written statement in this regard, President Biden supported Israel and said, "This is a good day for Israel, for the United States and for the world." With that, Biden said that he will soon send a congratulatory message to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. And discuss the appropriate way to release the hostages and end this war altogether.

Biden also said, 'There is an opportunity to not keep Hamas in power in Gaza. A political settlement can provide a better future for Israelis and Palestinians. Because, Yahya Sinwar has been an insurmountable obstacle in the way of achieving all those goals. That barrier is no more. But we have a lot of work ahead of us.'

Meanwhile, after the death of Yahya, Kamala Harris called for an end to the deaths in Palestine. According to him, 'this moment gives us an opportunity to end the war in Gaza. It must end so that Israel is safe, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people realize their right to dignity, security, freedom and self-determination.'
