Only a generous Israeli incentive to whoever fills in Sinwar’s shoes can bring the incumbent war in Gaza to an end if such an end is what Israel needs.

The killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by Israeli forces in Gaza this week leaves the militant group considering new leadership for the second time in less than three months.

CAIRO, Oct 18 (Reuters) - The Palestinian militant group Hamas will likely replace Yahya Sinwar with a new political leader based outside Gaza while his brother - Mohammad Sinwar - is expected to assume a bigger role directing the war against Israel in the territory, experts say.
