Billionaires in Politics & Yahya Sinwar’s Death: A Turning Point? 10/18/24

Israeli military forces killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar on Thursday, the architect of the Oct. 7 terror attacks on Israel last year. Council on Foreign Relations president emeritus Richard Haass considers whether Sinwar’s death will be a turning point in the war in Gaza. Next, MIT’s Simon Johnson was awarded the 2024 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences this week. Though he’s newly decorated, he emphasizes the importance of intellectual discourse in democracy. In election news, billionaires Mark Cuban and Elon Musk are hitting the (separate) campaign trails to support their respective picks for president, and Donald Trump’s gains on the election betting platform Polymarket may be inflated by a few big betters. Plus, CVS share prices plummeted as the company replaced its CEO.
