| [GEO.TV] US President Joe Biden said on Friday it was time to move on after Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's death in Gaza, and that the development had made him feel more hopeful about the prospect of a ceasefire. In comments to reporters after landing in Germany, Biden said he had congratulated Netanyahu on Sinwar's death. He added it was time for the war to end and for hostages held in Gaza to be returned home. And make sure you don't go into Rafah! That's a red line. No US role in Israel operation that killed Hamas leader, Pentagon says [IsraelTimes] The US military says its forces had no role in the Israeli operation that killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, even if US intelligence has contributed to Israel’s understanding of Hamas leaders who took hostages last year. “This was an Israeli operation. There [were] no US forces directly involved,” says Air Force Major General Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesperson. “The United States has helped contribute information and intelligence as it relates to hostage recovery and the tracking and locating of Hamas leaders who have been responsible for holding hostages. And so certainly that contributes in general to the picture.” “But again, this was an Israeli operation. And I would refer you to them to talk about the details of how the operation went down.” "I mean, it was successful, so you know we weren't involved. Errrr.."
