Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has reacted to the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, releasing a statement describing the occasion as a “vital turning point”.
The death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has been welcomed by Australian politicians and the Jewish community who have expressed hopes for a potential ceasefire and end to the Middle East conflict.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was a terrorist and the architect of the atrocities committed on October 7. Speaking to reporters in Adelaide, Ms Wong called Sinwar “a terrorist who caused untold suffering to so many people”. “We all look to a day when Gaza is free from Hamas and we look to a day where both Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace in a two-state solution which ensures that both parties, both peoples can live in peace and security.”
"Today, Sinwar and virtually all of Hamas’s leaders are dead. Hamas is reduced to small batches of terrorists incapable of waging war or ruling Gaza. Only Hezbollah materially joined the Hamas war and its leader is also dead."
