Speaking in Milwaukee, she emphasized that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrat-introduces-gun-control-bill-psych-evaluations-ammo-bans-federal-gun-registry\/\" title=\"Democrat Introduces Gun Control Bill: Psych Evaluations, Ammo Bans, Federal Gun Registry\">current moment<\/a>, with Hamas leadership significantly weakened, presents an\u2062 opportunity for peace, stressing the importance of ensuring Israel&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/miles-anonymous-taylor-accidentally-exposes-the-fraudulence-of-the-mainstream-media\/\" title=\"Miles &#039;Anonymous&#039; Taylor Accidentally Exposes the Fraudulence of the Mainstream Media\">security<\/a> and the release of hostages while also addressing the suffering \u200bof Palestinians.<\/p>\n<p>Harris labeled Sinwar as a significant threat, noting his involvement in the deaths of many civilians, including Americans, and expressed hope that his death could provide\u200b some\u200c relief to \u2063the families of victims. President Joe Biden and national security adviser Jake Sullivan echoed her sentiments, suggesting that Sinwar&#8217;s death might facilitate a path toward a ceasefire \u200dand ultimately benefit both Israel and the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, some congressional members took a strong stance against Sinwar, with Rep. Ritchie Torres comparing him to Adolf Hitler. The context of these remarks aligns\u2062 with ongoing \u2062discussions about the broader implications of the conflict in the Middle East, particularly in light of Sinwar&#8217;s notoriety and the recent violence.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Harris calls for end of war in Gaza after killing of Hamas leader<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1838121\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Kamala Harris\">Kamala Harris<\/a> called on Israel to consider an end to its war with Hamas following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3193317\/hamas-leader-yahya-sinwar-dead-october-7-mastermind-eliminated-idf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"confirmed death\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/canada-lowers-flags-after-bodies-of-children-discovered-at-residential-school\/\" title=\"Canada Lowers Flags After Bodies Of Children Discovered At Residential School\">confirmed death<\/a><\/a> of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack mastermind Yahya Sinwar. <\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;Hamas is decimated, and its leadership is eliminated.

He was killed alongside two other Hamas terrorists Wednesday, though the Israelis did not realize it was Sinwar until a day later.<\/p>\n<p>Harris and other political leaders weighed in on the news, with Harris reading a lengthy statement to the press.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Sinwar was responsible for the killing of thousands of innocent people, including the victims of Oct. 7 and the hostages killed in Gaza.
