Hamas leader\u00a0Yahya Sinwar<\/a>\u00a0reportedly seeks a wider regional war and has hardened his stance on a hostage deal, US officials told the\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Sinwars’ attitude has “hardened in recent weeks,” US officials told\u00a0NYT<\/em>, and they believe that Hamas currently has no intention of reaching a hostage deal with Israel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

These US officials said Hamas has not shown any engagement or desire to continue talks in recent weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to reports, Sinwar believed that he would not survive the ongoing\u00a0Israel-Hamas War<\/a>, which has allegedly hindered talks to secure and finalize a hostage deal,\u00a0NYT<\/em>\u00a0reported, citing US intelligence assessments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

According to SInwar, a larger regional war that sees further pressure on Israel would force the IDF to limit operations in the Gaza Strip, the US officials said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0NYT<\/em>\u00a0report also stated that the ongoing\u00a0ground operations by Israel in Lebanon<\/a>\u00a0and Iran’s ballistic missile strike on Israel and cited the US officials as saying that the failure of Hezbollah or Iran to damage Israel is a sign of Sinwar’s miscalculation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The NYT reported that the US officials estimated Sinwar\u2019s reported gambit was a miscalculation in light of the ongoing\u00a0Israeli ground operations in Lebanon<\/a>\u00a0and the Iranian ballistic missile attack, which failed to inflict much damage on Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

US also seeks to hunt down Sinwar<\/strong><\/h5>\n

As a result, US spy agencies have reportedly formed a targeting cell to study and hunt down Sinwar. The officials did not share what intelligence had been found but said that, in general, Sinwar has become less flexible in the negotiation process.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Earlier reports circulated by Israeli and global media questioned whether Sinwar is still alive, but officials have said that the rumors could not be confirmed, as much of the communication between Sinwar and Hamas has been reduced.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

NYT<\/em>\u00a0stated that while Sinwar was hiding, he understood that the IDF was closing in on him.<\/span><\/p>\n

The military came near his position in August, and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said that IDF soldiers had found signs that Sinar spent time in tunnels beneath Rafah, near the tunnels where the six hostages were murdered in August.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
