The death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in the Gaza Strip B次元官网网址渆nds a reign of terror,B次元官网网址� Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday, as some world leaders suggested his death may bring about a better chance of ending the current conflict and bringing lasting peace in the Middle East.

Sinwar was one of the chief architects of the attack on Israel last October that prompted an Israeli bombardment and ground invasion, and a conflict that has drawn in countries across the Middle East.

The Israeli military declared that it had killed Sinwar during a Wednesday battle in Gaza and confirmed his death with a DNA test. Israeli leaders celebrated his killing and believe it to be a moment for Hamas to surrender and release some 100 hostages it still holds captive, though Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said B次元官网网址渙ur war has not yet ended.B次元官网网址�

Trudeau called Sinwar a B次元官网网址渂rutal leaderB次元官网网址� of a group Canada deems a terrorist organization.

B次元官网网址淯nder SinwarB次元官网网址檚 leadership, Hamas carried out the horrific atrocities of Oct. 7, sought to destroy Israel, and launched senseless, devastating terrorist attacks on civilians across the region,B次元官网网址� Trudeau said. B次元官网网址淭oday delivers a measure of justice for his victims and their families.B次元官网网址�

Foreign Affairs Minister M茅lanie Joly said SinwarB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址渓egacy of terror must be unequivocally and universally condemned.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淗amas must immediately release hostages, lay down its arms, and have no role in the future governance of Gaza. A ceasefire must be secured.B次元官网网址�

U.S. President Joe Biden called SinwarB次元官网网址檚 death a B次元官网网址済ood day for Israel, for the United States, and for the world,B次元官网网址� and said it represented an opportunity to free Israeli hostages held by Hamas and end the yearlong war in Gaza.

He said with SinwarB次元官网网址檚 death B次元官网网址渢here is now the opportunity for a B次元官网网址榙ay afterB次元官网网址� in Gaza without Hamas in power, and for a political settlement that provides a better future for Israelis and Palestinians alike.B次元官网网址�

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sinwar repeatedly B次元官网网址渞ebuffed efforts by the United States and its partners to bring this war to a close through an agreement that would return the hostages to their families and alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people.B次元官网网址�

He said the U.S. will step up its efforts to end the conflict, release the hostages and allow the people of Gaza to rebuild B次元官网网址渇ree from the brutal grip of Hamas.B次元官网网址�
