Former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot issued a sharp critique of Prime Minister Netanyahu's handling of the Gaza deal on Friday, according to i24NEWS. Eisenkot said Netanyahu 'surrendered without achieving the war's goals,' after 'heavy costs' were paid.
Eisenkot, who has repeatedly warned that the war's objectives have not been met, has previously stated that Hamas has rebuilt its strength and that the goals of disarming Hezbollah remain far from achievement. His latest comments come as the Gaza framework agreement moves forward, drawing criticism from security figures who argue the deal does not ensure Israel's strategic gains.
The former chief of staff's remarks add to growing public debate over the terms of the agreement and its implications for Israeli security.
