Hundreds Establish New Settlement Facing Gaza

Hundreds Establish New Settlement Facing Gaza

Over 700 people, including families and war wounded, established a new settlement called 'Halutzei Gaza' near the Gaza border overnight. Participants declared that immediate settlement in Gaza is the necessary response to the recent war and a path to victory. The move received support from Likud officials, including Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, who encouraged further settlement in the Gaza Strip. The Nahala movement, which organized the initiative, is demanding the government relocate the settlement into Gaza and establish more settlements there.
