General's plan architect: 'We are at the mercy of Hamas'

General Giora Eiland, the author of the "General's Plan", has said that Israel has failed to achieve its stated war goals and is now "at the mercy of Hamas".

In September 2024, the retired army general outlined a plan calling for emptying northern Gaza of its residents and turning it into a closed military zone.

In an interview with Israeli Army Radio, Eiland said that Israel's opening of the Netzarim corridor meant that it had lost leverage over Hamas.
