His death should provide new opportunities to work towards peace in the Middle East. As we have maintained from the very beginning of this war, a ceasefire and hostage deal is key to resolving this conflict. Both sides should use this opportunity to agree to President Biden’s proposal for a ceasefire, and immediately reunite surviving hostages with their families. “History shows that the death of a terrorist leader does not necessarily mean the end of violence – it will only lead to peace and security if the strategy includes smart, principled, and tough diplomacy.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z |
