The U.S. Department of State, on the other hand, indicated that they see a new opportunity in the coming days for the end of the war. The statement included “We will do our best, along with our partners, to end the situation in Gaza.” Regarding the selection of a new leader for Hamas, it was stated that “We hope that they will act differently on the issue of a ceasefire from Sinwar.” The Pentagon announced that no U.S. troops were involved in Israel’s operation. MACRON: AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE END OF THE WAR French President Emmanuel Macron did not delay his statement following Sinwar’s death.
