Egypt invited Sinouar to leave the Gaza Strip at the beginning of the war, but he refused

At the beginning of the war, Egypt invited Hamas leader Yahya Sinouar to leave the Gaza Strip. In exchange, he could negotiate with Israel on behalf of Hamas. However, Sinouar refused, claiming that it was on Palestinian land. Experts believe that he hoped for the support of Iran and Hezbollah in the war against Israel.

Before the attack on Israel, the Hamas leader hid in the tunnels with his family. The video shows them carrying food, pillows and even a TV. However, hours earlier, Sinouar had sent terrorists to kill Israeli civilians, caring only for his own survival and using civilians as human shields.

The IDF press service emphasized the cruelty of Sinouar's actions, noting that the terrorists are indifferent to the lives of innocent people. These events occurred in October 2023, causing intense reactions and discussions in the international community.
