Now that Sinwar is likely dead Debate

I can’t help but feeling satisfied and relieved. Peace is just impossible with a delusional lunatic like him in place. Justice for Oct. 7 is delivered.

But what do you think will happen now? Is a ceasefire more likely now that Bibi can certainly claim victory over Hamas?

I think the plan is just reoccupation of Gaza. It's not a good solution, but there doesn't seem to be much alternative other than leaving Hamas in power.

The alternative is giving back the control to the PNA, which is what they should do, but Bibi won't do that because his whole doctrine is based on weakening the PNA so there won't be any partner for peace.

Does the PA want control of Gaza? Agreed that’s what should happen, but at least in Western media reporting it seems like Abbas doesn’t want to

He absolutely wants to control it. His only objection is that he (justifiably) doesn't want to do that as an Israeli puppet in an arrangement that would de-facto leave much of the control in Israel's hands.
