The chief of the American spy agency, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), William Burns has offered intel on Hamas military head Yahya Sinwar in exchange of Israel halting its ground invasion in the Rafah region.

Sinwar, who has been on Israel’s hit list ever since the war broke out on October 7 with Hamas, is reportedly hiding in the tunnel network of the terror outfit between Khan Younis and the Rafah region.

The United States has been pushing the Israeli leadership against a full-scale ground invasion in Rafah, given the huge population density in the area with around 1.3 million people including women and children staying there.

    bringing it up here is completely irrelevant lol. There’s a difference between a property dispute in New York and defending against mass airstrikes in Gaza

      Well yeah obviously. I thought it was just a joke referencing this story and someone was out of the loop. I got down voted for explaining the context that was missing 🤷‍♂️
