we have been talking a lot in the last uh day and change about the US seemingly using sinar’s death as a renewed push toward a ceasefire do you believe a ceasefire agreement is more likely today than it was yesterday before we heard this news I think it’s more likely but still very unlikely um I don’t think that this uh really changes any of the underlying fundamentals especially from the Israeli point of view uh the narrative coming from the Biden Administration has been that was the major hold up here um but it’s important to remember that every every negotiation has two parties um and Netanyahu has been pretty clear that he doesn’t see this as the end of the war um I think he said he sees this as the beginning of the end um Israel’s objectives in Gaza have always been frustratingly vague um and expansive at the same time um it’s not really clear what they’re aiming at what the day after looks like um and the goals aren’t specific they’ve had a number of tactical victories but what Netanyahu seems to really want is a new face of the Middle East and killing one leader isn’t going to accomplish that so unfortunately I don’t think this will end up being a turning point
