a.m. here in london and 11:00 a.m. in gaza and israel where emotions are running high over the unexpected killing of hamas leader yahya sinwar there were sweets passed around and celebrate tree honking and the checkpoint in southern israel, american and israeli leaders have said the world is a better place without sinwar, who was considered the mastermind of the october 7 terror attacks, his death is being called a possible watershed moment for the war in gaza. but the israeli prime minister made clear they still work to be done on the battlefield you all my loss of today, evil has suffered a heavy blow. but the task before us is not yet complete and to the dear families of the hostages, i say this is an important moment in the war we will continue with all our strength until the return home of all of your loved ones who are our loved ones? >> we'll soon sinwar's killing

likely dealt a major military and psychological blow to hamas, but their ally iran's mission to the un said the circumstances of his death will only strengthen the spirit of resistance. a warning we're about to show you a graphic video of what are believed to be sinwar's remains sources say israeli forces discovered his body in southern gaza after a battle with several militants, israel says sinwar's identity was confirmed through dental records and dna testing. however, cnn can't confirm that what this means for the region and no immediate impact as it were militarily. because the war continues. >> that's right and the israeli prime minister yesterday was very clear in his statement that this war will continue to go warned that there are still objectives that the israeli government and the israeli military wants to achieve. but there had been and continues to be some hope that this could potentially be a juncture. and what has been

over a year of relentless war that potentially this could offer an off-ramp to the israeli government. of course, from the outset of the war, the israeli government has been clear. they want to target musk, they want to eradicate hamas in its entirety. but clearly, they've also been going after hamas's top leaders and chief among them has been yahya sinwar, who over the last year, according to the israeli government, had believed to be hiding in tunnels under gaza. clearly that wasn't the case. we've seen now, drone footage from the israeli military, which appears to show you here, sinwar actively fighting essentially armed with weapons as he was killed whether this is then taken by the israeli government as an opportunity to paint this as the victory that they were looking for. whether this is sufficient in for the israeli government to say that this is enough. we are now going to move forward with a negotiated political resolution remains to be seen. that certainly wasn't the tone from prime minister netanyahu yesterday. but of course, there has been pressure from the u.s.

government for netanyahu to move forward in that direction. we heard from biden yesterday expressing his wish to see the israeli government move on. essentially, it was his words let's just see a negotiated resolution to this. this he says, is the opportunity for that. but again, the israeli government remains focused on, of course, trying to rescue all remaining hostages and what we've been hearing for more right-wing elements of netanyahu's government is that not only do they want to see hamas's top leaders removed, which of course we have seen and we've seen the leader of hezbollah alert and lebanon assassinated swell. but they want to see hamas completely eradicated whether that is even possible, given how hamas's ideology, the prevalence of it as an idea in gaza is unclear we're just getting a note here that a meeting that was scheduled amongst israeli leaders about iranian lebanon delayed from last night will take place today and it's iran and lebanon. >> there's on the agenda more

than gaza and of course, what's happening in the region continues to be a big focus for israel. we are still waiting to see how an if, when israel will target iran in retaliation for iran's missile attack on israel on october 1, we know of course that the cabinet has, according to israeli officials, come to an agreement on how they wish to respond to retaliate to that. what we haven't seeing that response just yet, we've been hearing from the biden administration calling for restraint. they've urged the israeli government not to target nuclear or oil facilities in iran. we're still seeing the israeli military deepening its ground incursion in southern lebanon. the region is still very much feels as though it is on a knife's edge. how this than the killing of yahya sinwar impacts that remains to be seen, whether the israeli government takes this as an opportunity to put a pause in regional fighting and move forward with negotiations, or whether they see this as a victory that could perhaps lead to exactly doubled down on their efforts, not only in gaza, but also so in lebanon and iran as well. and of

course, you've seen them at have some limited success in lebanon. of course, the killing of hassan us on the hugely symbolic, but underlying all of this is, of course the civilian toll that we have to remember as well. there was a real need for a ceasefire to be struck. that as what world leaders are calling for, particularly in gaza more than 42,000 people killed. and of course, hostages still being held, captured exactly. >> nauta. thank you reaction to the death of hamas, the hamas leader is still coming in from world leaders, french president emmanuel macron, called sinwar's death a turning point. the president of the european commission says sinwar's death significantly weakens hamas. and us leaders surprised by news of the killing, but they're not making any predictions about the war moment gives us an opportunity to finally end the war in gaza iran's mission to the un posted this reaction on social

media, calling sinwar a martyr, who will become a model for children and a source of inspiration said, sinwar's death will strengthen the spirit of resistance a group that represents families of israeli hostages still being held by hamas says it welcomes and user sinwar's death and the mother of one hostage who is still in gaza, had a message for the israeli prime minister and it's netanyahu, don't bury the hostages. go now with the mediators and to the public and present a new israeli initiative. time is running out for my amutan and the other hostages in the tunnels. you've got a victory photo. now, bring a deal if netanyahu will not use this momentum and present a new israeli initiative. now, even at the price of ending the war, it means that he's decided to abandon my a ton and the rest of the hostages with the aim of prolonging the war and securing his rule we will not give up until they all returned the families of the hostages are all pleading for action to get their loved ones released soon as possible. of course and

seagal is an israeli journalist and the chief political analyst for israel's channel 12. >> he joins me now from jerusalem. thank you so much for your time today. i just want to pick up on what nauta was saying. there about how net you know who and his government might react to this because obviously there's a huge amount of will from all of israel's allies for a peace deal. but the other question is whether he uses the motivation from this latest killing to push ahead with finishing off hamas and continuing that wider war with those iran backed groups groups so first of all, wave to say that the world is better today and even gas is better today. sinwar wasn't an architect of death and the fact that he was killed by by a private in the israeli army, almost by coincidence is something which is quite symbolic what we see now is

that israel does have a strategy against its enemies. and we're watching it unfold before our eyes end its going from one dictator to the other, eliminating the threat it began with hamas then it moved to his in lebanon in next might be iran after sinwar's removal from the scene, i think it's quite symbolic moment, but more than that it gives a chance to move forward in directions that might not have been possible before i meeting of senior ministers today. what's top of the agenda there? do you think what happened in gaza or what's currently happening in lebanon and plans for iran following october 7, last year was that it's it's basically the same war we are fighting against the arms of the octopus sitting in tehran hamas was

acting half independently but you saw it. it invoked a war against hezbollah, but i started rocketing israel almost a year ago. and then the houthis from yemen and iran so perhaps the solution should be not isolated, not merely to gaza. we have a war between the axis of resistance as they call themselves, iran and its allies. and israel and the moderate arab sonic state so i guess the killing of sinwar signals to things. one is that the only place on earth in which the muslim brother the road, controlled a ground state, and alleged state like gaza, no longer exists. it's quite it's quite important for both saudi arabia, the emirates, and of course, for israel. and the second thing is that it opens the door for a wider agreement. why did

agreement between israel and its partners and the united states and europe? how to fight those those enemies that actually threaten the lives of many, many israelis, westerns and they alabs alike i know that israel has a lot of sympathy for that view, but taking all of those areas as one, there is an exception, surely with gaza, because palestinians, civilians away for hamas are trapped there. >> they can't go anywhere, which is why people are pushing for some sort of ceasefire particularly hard there they can move out of the danger zone in lebanon and potentially in iran as well. and you could argue that and yemen as well, but a gaza is an exceptional case because it's surrounded and no one can get out. so they they need extra support. at least in terms of aid or some way of getting to safety so

perhaps it wasn't a good idea to initiate the war against evil and killing, massacre and rape. >> a more than 1,200 israelis. i think that could have been something else. and i think the solution might be combining the moderate muslim arab states but now israel has to win the war and in order to win the war and bring back the hostages, it has to attack hamas in gaza, which is by the way, it was elected democratically by the palestinians. and enjoys a the popular support of the gazans. 70% of palestinians in gaza and the west bank in sudan, syria, actually support the october 7 massacre. it's not a dictatorship or a murderous dictatorship. they just emerge and took over the country. know, they actually want the popular vote in gaza and they enjoy even today the support of gazans now, if we take a look at what happens in gaza, i

think the solution is a, by actually enabling something else to emerge. israel does provide humanitarian supply, by the way, i think it's the only incidents in the last 50 years in which one fight gives its enemy huge humanitarian aid. it's not the case in ukraine. it wasn't the case in war well, to it wasn't the case in falkland war, et cetera. and once hamas is eliminated and the killing of sinwar is a crucial step on the way to actually have a different leadership, a different government in gaza said girl in jerusalem with your particular point of view, if thank you very much indeed for joining us they wear masks. latest death is expected to take center stage in president biden's meetings in germany, which are set to get underway. any moment now, mr. biden is about to meet germany's president and chancellor received one of germany's top honors later, there'll be joined by the french and british leaders for

talks that were supposed to focus on ukraine and the middle east this but two western officials tell cnn the discussions are now expected to zero in on sinwar's death and how it could affect the outcome of the war in gaza. cnn's kayla tausche, she is monitoring developments. she joins us now from berlin she is currently going to come into us, but we're going to come back to per in just a moment when the connection is there. but as allies meet in berlin, ukraine's president is pitching his victory plan to the european union and nato. he was in brussels on thursday where he spoke at a summit of eu leaders meeting at nato defense ministers, the final day of their meeting got underway earlier this morning, the alliance has promised to allow ukraine to join but the timeline is unclear. that's partly because of concerns that ukraine's full membership could pit nato directly against moscow. can we speak to kayla now? i think we can otherwise we will move on. >> high, kayla, i'm just take

us through the debate and how sinwar will play into this because of course is going to be a lot of talk about protecting civilians in gaza. >> in particular, yes. >> and that has been a focus of the biden administration even up to this point, just a few days ago, max, the biden administration sent a letter to israel and said that if the humanitarian situation in gaza doesn't improve then there would potentially be new conditions placed on aid that the u.s provides to israel. and remember that many of the european allies in discussions with the u.s at the un general assembly few weeks ago, had all been pushing for a ceasefire, a temporary three-week cease fire between israel and hezbollah in lebanon. and so allies have been working behind the scenes for many weeks, many months at this point to try to bring about a diplomatic resolution to the conflict in the middle east and officials tell me that now with sinwar's death, this is appearing to be a watershed moment in this conflict

yesterday, president biden spoke with prime minister netanyahu. and when he relayed his conversation to reporters, upon arriving in berlin last night, he said that now is the time to move on. now is the time? i'm for the war to end in biden's words. so that will certainly be front and center in the meetings that president biden has here in berlin today, we expect him to arrive at the palace and then the chancellery for official meetings with the president and the chancellor of germany to discuss the alliance between the u.s. and germany, of course, with the election looming the united states and things like aid for ukraine. now uncertain. max also got this huge wishlist, hasn't he, from volodymyr zelenskyy. >> i don't think any diplomats realistically think he's going to get the full list. but what can president biden offer to the ukrainian president? >> well, certainly zelenskyy zick victory plan has now been shared privately with all allies and now publicly to his

own parliament. all those zelenskyy says that there are three bullet points on that victory plan that will still remain secret that are just going to remain behind closed doors. all allies have continued to usher in drawdowns of aid to ukraine, germany, just with a new $1.5 billion traunch last week. and the u.s when zelenskyy visited washington back in september with a multi-billion-dollar drawdown of its own. but certainly allies are divided on what happens next. they agree that ukraine the faces real challenges on the battlefield as this war continues in a protracted manner, and faces yet another difficult winter where zelenskyy is warning of potential nuclear war. but they remain divided on how to move beyond that, how to tackle that. we know that the uk prime minister has suggested that uk made long-range missiles should be he allowed to be used deeper inside of russia. it is unclear whether president biden has come around to that idea, although some amount of time

has passed since they've discussed that. so we will see whether any progress is made, but we don't expect any specific deliverables, at least happening from today's meeting max, kayla tausche in berlin following those meetings for us. thank you so much. now still to come election officials in north carolina sore terrific turnout for the first day of early voting, even though people are still recovering from hurricane helene plus donald trump and kamala harris are fighting to convince any undecided voters with only 18 days left in the race, or the latest from the campaign trail for you to cnn this fall pros and cons less pro hosted by roy wood jr. wrote with amber ruffin. >> would likely in black? >> oh, okay. what are the cons we could run at a news by then >> oh, no, no world still on fire thank goodness. thereby got news for you saturday at
