NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte acknowledged the death of Yehya al-Sinwar, leader of the Palestinian Islamist Hamas movement in Gaza, with a curt dismissal. “I personally will not miss him,” Rutte said at a press conference at NATO headquarters. Al-Sinwar, considered to be the chief orchestrator behind the October 7, 2003 terror attacks which triggered the current war in Gaza, was confirmed dead by Israel on Thursday. Rutte said he condemned the attacks as has “very reasonable soul in the world.” All allies in NATO have condemned the attacks, he stressed.
