Officials say Biden administration is roughly one month behind on last known location of Hamas's Gaza chief

The United States is focused on tracking down Hamas’s Gaza chief, Yahya Sinwar, amid a new push by the White House to help Israel declare “total victory” so it can bring an end to the war on Gaza, US officials have told Middle East Eye.

On Monday, The Washington Post reported that the US was offering Israel new intelligence to help track Hamas leaders in exchange for Israel not launching the assault on Rafah.

That report was carried by some Israeli news outlets under the title: US withholding “sensitive intelligence” on Hamas from Israel. However, several current and former US and Arab diplomats, as well as defence and intelligence officials, told MEE it was highly unlikely the US would withhold information on Hamas from Israel.

    I’m thinking Israel probably provides US Intel and US provides them weapons.

      Israel has software for mass surveillance (wire tapping, data scraping etc) but in terms of physical surveillance abilities they are lacking (aside from the Big Brother camera system and auto gun turrets they installed in the West Bank).

      The UK also ran 200+ spy missions for israel above Gaza, more than one per day.
