And another one falls.
National Security Council director, Major General (res.) Giora Eiland, has formally tendered his resignation to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Eiland told Sharon of his planned resignation some three months ago, but agreed to stay on until after evacuation of settlements in Gaza and northern Samaria.
Eiland said he wished to explore academic and business opportunities, but yesterday he lambasted the decision to bring an Egyptian military force into Rafiah and to abandon the Philadelphi route and without receiving anything in return from the Egyptians and Palestinians.
Eiland said he would conclude his service at the end of the year.
