European Commission Vice President Josep Borrell has said that the killing of Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar opened a ‘new perspective’ for a ceasefire in Gaza, AFP reports.

“Certainly after the killing of Yahya Sinwar a new perspective is open and we have to use it in order to reach a ceasefire, to release the remaining hostages and to look for a political perspective,” Borrell told journalists on the sidelines of a G7 defence summit.
