US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller says Washington hopes that Hamas’s next leader will pursue a different path than Yahya Sinwar.

“What we would hope, is that whoever the next leader of Hamas is, he will look at what has happened over the past year and look at the suffering that Hamas’s actions have brought upon the Palestinian people who they aim to represent, whose cause they aim to advance, and decide that they ought to pursue a different path forward,” Miller says during a press briefing.
