Biden: US intelligence helped Israel track down Hamas leaders
He noted that US intelligence agencies had provided assistance to Israel under his leadership. According to Biden, the death of Hamas political director Yahya Sinwar opened the door to a peaceful resolution of the situation in the Gaza Strip, but much work remains to be done.
Against this backdrop, Biden said he would soon hold a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the meantime, the US president wants to "congratulate him and other Israeli leaders, return the hostages to their families, and discuss ways to end once and for all this war that has brought so much destruction to innocent people."
