Vice President Kamala Harris called on Israel to consider an end to its war with Hamas following the confirmed death of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack mastermind Yahya Sinwar.

“Hamas is decimated, and its leadership is eliminated. This moment gives us an opportunity to finally end the war in Gaza,” Harris said in Milwaukee. “It must end such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination.”
