Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on May 28 that Mohammad Sinwar, a senior Hamas leader in Gaza, had been killed. Mohammad was the younger brother of Yahya Sinwar, the former head of Hamas and the man believed to have planned the October 7 attacks on Israel. After Yahya Sinwar was killed by Israeli forces last year, Mohammad stepped into a leadership role within Hamas. He took control of both the group’s military operations and political activities in Gaza, making him one of the most powerful figures in the organization. Israel had been targeting top Hamas leaders following the deadly October 7 assault, which sparked the ongoing conflict. According to Israeli officials, Mohammad Sinwar became one of their highest-priority targets after taking over from his brother.

On Thursday, May 22, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticised the leaders of the UK, France, and Canada, saying they were "on the wrong side of humanity." This came after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, along with leaders from France and Canada, expressed deep concern over the violence in Gaza and called for a ceasefire. Earlier in the week, the UK stopped its free trade talks with Israel, summoned the Israeli ambassador, and imposed more sanctions on Israeli settlers in the West Bank. The UK’s foreign minister also described Israel’s recent military actions in Gaza as "monstrous." The Israeli army began a new military operation last week. According to health workers in Gaza, over 500 people have been killed in the past eight days by Israeli airstrikes. Since early March, Israel has blocked medical supplies, food, and fuel from entering Gaza. Experts have warned that this could lead to a famine, though a few aid trucks were allowed in on Monday. Meanwhile, PM Netanyahu also condemned the deadly shooting of two Israeli diplomats in Washington, DC, calling the incident "horrific" and a tragic loss for the nation.

On May 22, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the killing of two Israeli staff members in Washington, D.C. "horrific." The victims, a young couple named Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, were shot on the night of May 21 after leaving an event near the Capital Jewish Museum. The suspect reportedly shouted "Free Palestine" after being arrested. In response, Israeli embassies around the world increased security. At the same time, Israel is facing global criticism for its military actions in Gaza, and Jewish groups are warning about rising anti-Semitic attacks. Netanyahu also commented on another incident where Israeli soldiers fired near a group of European diplomats in Jenin. The army said the group had strayed from an approved route.
