❗️Israel considers burning Yahya Sinwar’s body rather than returning it to Gaza
Israeli Transportation Minister Miri Regev said on 20 October that she proposed burning the body of fallen Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar instead of returning it to Gaza.
Speaking during a recent meeting of Israel’s Security Cabinet, Regev argued that certain “symbols must not be returned,” according to Israeli media reports.
“I thought we should do exactly what the Americans did with bin Laden,” she said, referencing the 2011 killing of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden by US forces, even though Bin Laden was reportedly buried at sea, not burned.
Regev’s proposal is reportedly under consideration by Israeli security officials.
