Thousands Rally for Jewish Resettlement in Gaza

Thousands of Israelis, including public figures, ministers, and Knesset members, are traveling from Yad Mordechai towards the northern Gaza Strip on Sunday, calling for victory and settlement in the region. The demonstration, led by the Nahala movement and other right-wing organizations, aims to pressure the government to advance Jewish settlement in northern Gaza under the slogan "Choosing Victory - Settling in Gaza." The convoy gathered at the Yad Mordechai junction at 2 p.m. before heading to the northern Gaza perimeter and the Nitzanit outpost.

Organizers stated that with the failure of various political initiatives, the message to the Prime Minister is that long-term security will only be achieved through civilian presence and control of the territory. Daniela Weiss, chairwoman of the Nahala movement, declared from the convoy, "The victory picture of this war will only be achieved when we return to all parts of our land and settle the Gaza Strip with Jews. Just as Zionist settlement arose with the determination of 'wall and tower,' so we are doing today: thousands setting out in convoys with caravans and living equipment, preparing in the field and returning Jewish life to Nitzanit and all of Gaza."

Zvi Eliezer Sharf, also chairman of the Nahala movement, added that the gathering and convoys aim to empower the government to proceed with the Defense Minister's statements about establishing Nachal settlements and to prevent the entry of an international force that he claims endangers southern residents and Israel. He asserted that only Jewish settlement will provide security control, victory, and the realization of the Zionist vision.
