American intelligence officials believe that Yahya Sinwar, the powerful leader of Hamas in Gaza who is thought to be the group’s key decision-maker on any potential ceasefire deal, likely believes the group can survive Israel’s attempt to destroy it and feels confident it is well-positioned to approach negotiations from a place of strength, according to US officials familiar with recent assessments.
The goal for Hamas is to survive, these sources say — that would be victory for the group. Sinwar likely believes Hamas can hold out while Israel’s global standing deteriorates as the war in Gaza, which has killed thousands of civilians, continues.
A senior Biden administration official put it bluntly: “He believes he’s winning.
For US negotiators pursuing a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel, it’s a discouraging assessment. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told the families of American hostages being held in Gaza in a meeting in Tel Aviv on Tuesday morning that the fate of the latest proposal rests with Sinwar.
While the US is pressuring those who have sway over Hamas to push the group to accept the deal, Blinken on Tuesday made it clear that the US believes that Sinwar is the ultimate decision-maker.

Sinwar is a fanatic and we appear to be weak-kneed. What a mix.
Sinwar (or his successor) will win. The Israelis will overthrow Bibi in six months from now (or in a year).
Strategic victory for Hamas.
A POS on the level of bin Laden, and we know within a few square km exactly where he is. Maybe he’ll be taken out by ST6 as an October Surprise to prop up Slow Joe.
Need to add unrest in the Middle East.
The ONLY reason why Biden wants this war to end is for one reason, to get his pro terrorist hamas lovers to vote for him again..otherwise, where is the call for a cease fire in Ukraine, nah, they can fight forever, but Israel is not allowed to destroy Hamas
“feels confident [Hamas] is well-positioned to approach negotiations from a place of strength.” Sure! Half of Gaza has been destroyed and it will take decades to rebuild. Israel will never again allow Gaza to follow a policy that could lead to Israel’s destruction. There is no pity for the poor bastards who have to spend the next ten years eating dirt in that Hell-hole.
Hamas already rejected the Biden deal.. good now go in and flatten Rafah
It’s CNN so we know not a word of this is true.
L
Just like they believe YouCraynee has the upper hand.
CNN spews another DNC talking point, which corresponds to the position of the leader of Hamas. Weird coincidence.
Well, he has the Biden Administration and the UN on his side.
Good.
Keep killing ham ass.
