'Showing us how to win a war': Navy Seal who killed Bin Laden lauds Israel's killing of Sinwar
Retired Senior Chief Petty Officer Rob O'Neill criticized the United States foreign policy when it came to Qatar.
Retired Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Rob O'Neill told NewsMax on Thursday that Israel was “showing [the US] how to win a war” following the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
O’Neill, according to the Daily Mail, was a member of SEAL Team Six, the group that stormed Al Qaeda terrorist Osama Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on May 2, 2011. In 2014, he reportedly identified himself as the one who pulled the trigger on the mastermind of the September 11 attacks.
"This is huge for them," O’Neill said. “And I love that they were able to do it with soldiers. So, the last thing that Yahya saw was probably the Israeli flag.
"And it's just good on them. Good for the pursuit. And just like the rest of them, you know, he died running away afraid. And the good guys finally caught up to him."
Acknowledging the significance of the elimination, O’Neill said that the death of Sinwar incapacitated many of Hamas’s “abilities.”
The US's foreign policy
Israel has faced numerous calls to implement a ceasefire in Gaza, despite Hamas’s consistent refusal of a hostage deal and recent absence from talks in Qatar.
US President Joe Biden reignited conversations for a ceasefire on Friday, telling reporters “We’re going to work out what is the day after now,” explaining that this means, “how do we secure Gaza and move on.”
Commenting on the international push to end the war, O’Neill said, "What Israel is doing right now is they're showing us how to win a war. They're taking out the top leaders. They're going to keep doing it.
"And they're proving to everyone, including like, even right now, our president will say, 'Well, now he's dead, we can work on a ceasefire.' You don't don't let someone start a war and then whine about a ceasefire.”
Further casting an eye at US foreign policy, O’Neill said that while Iran is "obviously a problem and the No. 1 state sponsor of terror," the US should be more cautious when it came to "our supposed ally in Qatar."
"That's where Hamas, the last two billionaire leaders of Hamas — they should round these dudes up and give them to Israel right now," O'Neill said.
