President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday publicly reacted to the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by Israeli troops. In a statement released by the White House, Biden called Sinwar's death "a good day for Israel, for the United States, and for the world."

"This is a good day for Israel, for the United States, and for the world," the president said in an official statement from the White House.
