Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said that the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar would make the prospect of peace easier in Gaza.

“I think it makes it easier,” the former president told reporters as he arrived in Detroit for campaign events.

Trump also said he plans to talk to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu soon. He praised the Israeli leader as doing a good job while attacking President Joe Biden’s administration.

“He’s called me. I haven’t spoken to him. I’m going to speak to him probably now,” Trump said. “Biden is trying to hold him back … and he probably should be doing the opposite actually.”
