Hamas chief Sinwar out of touch ‘for weeks’ on hostage-truce deal, but Israel doesn’t believe he’s dead — official
[IsrelTimes] There are ongoing attempts "all the time" to move hostage talks forward, says a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s entourage, adding that Mossad chief David Barnea is traveling regularly to move things forward.

The focus is on issues that are less controversial, in order to create some small measure of momentum, the official says. One example is the formula for exchanging hostages for Paleostinian security prisoners.

But Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
leader Yahya Sinwar has been out of touch "for weeks," says the official. Israel asks Egypt and Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
to get answers from Hamas, and they simply do not respond.

Still, Israel does not assess that Sinwar is dead.

But if he is killed, "we believe it will help us reach a deal," the official adds.

#2 Why wouldn't Sinwar have fled to Iran when he had the opportunity before the Gaza-Egypt border was under Israeli control?

Maybe Sinwar's presence in Gaza is only a charade.
