According to the New York Times, Israel has made the assassination of Sanwar one of its main goals, but seven months after the Gaza war, the survival of Sanwar shows Israel’s failures in the war.
According to this report, while the Israeli authorities are looking for Sanwar’s assassination, they were forced to negotiate with him indirectly for the release of the prisoners.
According to Hamas, American and Israeli officials, Sanwar is not only a strong-willed commander but also a clever negotiator who prevented Israel from winning the war.
Salah al-Din al-Awaudeh, a member of Hamas and a political analyst who was in Israeli prisons with Sanwar in the 1990s and 2000s, says: There is no decision that can be made without consulting Sanwar. Sanwar is not an ordinary leader. He is a powerful person and the architect of recent developments. He is not a manager but a leader.
US and Israeli intelligence agencies have spent months assessing Sanwar’s motives. American and Israeli analysts believe that Sanwar’s main motivation is to take revenge on Israel and weaken it.
