Ono Scholar Discusses Sinwar\u2019s Elimination in CNN Interview<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Prof. Gil Siegal, Director of the Center for Health Law and Bioethics at Ono Academic College, was interviewed about the IDF\u2019s recent elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in the Gazan city of Rafa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Videos of the operation that led to Sinwar\u2019s killing have been widely circulated on the internet. Siegal noted that the both Israel and Hamas have used the video to advance their own narratives and that this is not a surprise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThe truth is in the eye of the beholder. Objectively, the picture shows a person covered with dust, clearly injured, attempting to throw an object on a drone. This is the fact, the objective fact,\u201d Siegal said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cNow let\u2019s interpret this fact. One would say: \u2018oh, you see this person is fighting to his last gasp.\u2019 The second would say: \u2018you see, this is the Stone Age fighting the age of startups and technology.\u2019 And the third will say: \u2018you see, even at the last moment, this person remains violent and determined to cause damage,\u2019 and so on.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Siegal suggested that the IDF’s decision to make the materials public likely stemmed from multiple factors, particularly a wish to demonstrate that Sinwar was indeed deceased.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a proof. For example, people said that (Hamas\u2019 military chief)\u00a0Mohammed Deif\u00a0is still alive. There were days of\u00a0refutation following (the death of the Hezbollah leader) Hassan Nasrallah,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Siegal indicated that there was probably an additional motive behind the IDF’s release of the video \u2013 the importance of showing that Sinwar died alone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThose who lead a revolution, those who lead a military campaign, are usually surrounded by the people that support them, people that live for them, people that will do everything in their power to help him. And guess what? This person supposedly fighting for the Palestinian people, the people left him by himself. He was all by himself,\u201d he Siegal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
