Hamas leader’s death shakes up Middle East war

Rose Kelanic, director of Middle East engagement at Defense Priorities, said killing the leaders of terrorist groups rarely terminates them as an organization and that Israel’s destructive campaign in Gaza, where more than 42,000 have died, is creating more instability.

“This is the moment that sort of shows how little victory there is to be had in Gaza,” she said. “This was a target that people had, and then they actually got the target.”

She said Netanyahu’s major shortcoming is that he has never “articulated a clear vision of what Gaza is going to be like when the war is done.”
