NEW YORK – In response to the confirmation of the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Amb. Ronald S. Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, released the following statement:
“The world is safer today than it was yesterday. After more than a year of fighting to honor the victims of October 7th, Israel has delivered justice by eliminating Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas.
“This marks a critical moment in the global war on terror, and it is vital that world leaders recognize and support Israel’s efforts to confront the threat of extremist ideologies.
“Terrorism is not just Israel’s challenge; it endangers us all. We urge members of the international community to stand with Israel, reaffirm their commitment to defeating terror wherever it exists, and demand the release of the 101 remaining hostages.”
