<p>Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas commander who masterminded the October 7 massacre, reportedly told Hamas officials based outside of Gaza to reject any deals to return the hostages in-part because the Biden-Harris administration was beginning to turn on Israel.</p>
<p>The information was featured in a report from The Wall Street Journal about the effort that went in to locating and killing Sinwar after he spent a year on the run following the attacks.</p>
<p>He told Hamas&#8217; political leadership to refuse making any concessions and to prolong negotiations for as long as possible because &#8220;high civilian casualties would create worldwide pressure on Israel,&#8221; the report said.</p>
<p>Around March, Sinwar urged them to &#8220;refuse a hostage deal,&#8221; the report said.</p>
<p>He said that Hamas, an Iranian-backed terrorist organization, had the upper hand — in part because of &#8220;mounting U.S. pressure to alleviate the suffering in Gaza.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Biden-Harris administration started applying pressure on Israel to pull back its military efforts against Hamas shortly after Israel began responding because it was hurting the administration&#8217;s support with the far-left wing of the Democrat Party with an election right around the corner.</p>
<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu authorized killing Sinwar in 2021 after the terrorist group fired rockets into Israel but the effort failed and Netanyahu&#8217;s government later collapsed.</p>
<p>That summer, Israel&#8217;s new prime minister, Naftali Bennett proposed killing Sinwar but there was a &#8220;split&#8221; among the officials who made the call.</p>
<p>After Sinwar urged Arab Israelis to murder Jews in April 2022, Bennett authorized an operation to kill him but Bennett&#8217;s government later collapsed and the operation did not move forward.</p>
<p>While Netanyahu and Bennett, both right-wing, authorized taking out Sinwar, the report did not make any mention of Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who is left of center and took power after Bennett.</p>
<p>Sinwar was killed last week when Israeli forces operating inside Rafah noticed three terrorists trying to sneak into a building undetected.</p>
<p>After engaging in gunfire with the terrorists, a nearby tank blew up the building. Sinwar&#8217;s dead body was later discovered inside.</p>
