Nasrallah Assassination, Sinwar, Hamas-Hezbollah-Israel
"Sinwar Led to the Elimination of Hassan Nasrallah"
Avi Issacharoff, the senior Arab affairs commentator for the newspaper *Yedioth Ahronoth*, discusses the elimination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, stating ironically that it was Sinwar who brought about his downfall.
In an interview with Radio 103FM, Issacharoff noted that an analysis of Nasrallah's behavior over the past year reveals that Yahya Sinwar effectively played a role in Nasrallah's death.
Issacharoff explained, "This hasn't been done until now because there was a fear in Israel of a very severe response to the Israeli home front, leading to the assumption that it was impossible to attack Nasrallah and Hezbollah for many years, allowing him to enjoy a sense of immunity."
He added, "Nasrallah suffered from hubris that made him feel safe and protected, and the second factor was jealousy. What drove him to attack Israel on October 8 was jealousy. Ironically, it was Sinwar who led to Nasrallah's death, no less than that. He desperately wanted to be Sinwar, and in the end, he entered a conflict that wasn't his own."
Issacharoff concluded, "He saw Sinwar featured in all the Arab media, becoming the Muslim hero, and he wanted to be like him. And there he was, stepping up to defend the Palestinians in Gaza."
