Yahya Sinwar Is Dead, but a Palestinian State Still Seems Distant
Briefly

The killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar raises hopes for a two-state solution, but the creation of an independent Palestinian state seems further away than ever.
President Biden hopes Sinwar's death may lead to a cease-fire in Gaza and negotiations for a Palestinian state, but the reality in the region complicates this goal.
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s rejection of a two-state solution and dependence on far-right coalition ministers significantly weaken the chances for serious negotiations with Palestinians.
Analysts caution that Mr. Sinwar's death is unlikely to catalyze moves towards Palestinian statehood, as internal and external political dynamics remain challenging.
