An Israeli general stated that Gaza should remain "destroyed for generations," according to Middle East Eye. Giora Eiland made the assertion while arguing that Palestinian despair serves Israeli strategic interests. He called for permanent Israeli control over territory beyond the Yellow Line, the demarcation of Israel's pre-1967 borders.
The remarks represent a hardline position on Gaza's postwar reconstruction and reflect broader Israeli debates over long-term territorial control in the strip. Eiland's comments underscore disputes within Israeli military and political circles over whether to allow Palestinian recovery in the devastated territory.
