The United States is focused on tracking down Hamas’s Gaza chief, Yahya Sinwar, amid a new push by the White House to help Israel declare “total victory” so it can bring an end to the war on Gaza, US officials have told Middle East Eye.

On Monday, The Washington Post reported that the US was offering Israel new intelligence to help track Hamas leaders in exchange for Israel not launching the assault on Rafah.

That report was carried by some Israeli news outlets under the title: US withholding “sensitive intelligence” on Hamas from Israel. However, several current and former US and Arab diplomats, as well as defence and intelligence officials, told MEE it was highly unlikely the US would withhold information on Hamas from Israel.

      No Biden should definitely run a massive spy operation for israel for free and provide them with all the intel Netanyahu wants. The military runs on sunshine and rainbows after all.

      Just don’t provide the info. There’s no legitimate reason for Israel to be committing genocide against Palestinians and the US shouldn’t be complicit with it, let alone actively supporting it.
