Sinwar was killed on Thursday 17 October, 2024 by Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in Rafah, Gaza.
Lammy said, “now is the time for a ceasefire which leads to a new chapter in the Middle East.”
In his full statement, David Lammy said: “Sinwar was a brutal terrorist responsible for the horror of October 7th. My thoughts this evening are with his victims and the families of all those who suffered the worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust, and the hostages who must still be released. Now is the time for a ceasefire which leads to a new chapter in the Middle East.”
