Sinwar, the architect of the October 7 attacks, was a top target for Israel. After months of Israel claiming that Sinwar was hiding in tunnels behind “human shields,” the Hamas leader was gravely wounded by tank fire when he was above ground and alone, as he sat on a chair covered in dust in a ruined apartment, according to drone footage released by the Israeli military.

Following the news of Sinwar’s death, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said in a post on X: “After recent conversations w/leaders of Israel, Saudi Arabia & UAE, I have real hope that Sinwar’s death creates truly historic opportunities for Israel’s security, cessation of fighting & regional peace & stability through normalization of relations. The moment must be seized.”

Just beneath the surface of Blumenthal’s remarks is a widely discussed mega-deal that would effectively create a U.S.-Gulf regime neo-colony in Gaza, commit the U.S. to going to war for Saudi Arabia, and plunge us deeper into a new cold war with China.

    Many leaders in the middle east are American proxies. By extension they will obey Israel. America has to make concessions for it, by giving their leaders things they want such as F35 planes.

    Israeli allies are:

    • Egypt
    • Saudi
    • UAE
    • Jordan
    • Turkey

    The resistance is:

    • Palestine
    • Lebanon
    • Iraq
    • Iran
    • Yemen

    Keep in mind the population of all these countries hate Israel. Their leaders and army are compromised.
