Named Halutzei Aza, or Chutzei Gaza, the outpost represents the first physical step in Nachala's three-year campaign to renew Jewish communities in the Gaza Strip and return to the evacuated Gush Katif area. Haaretz English reported that dozens of activists set up tents and temporary structures at the site, which is led by Daniella Weiss.
The Nachala movement is demanding that the Israeli government relocate the outpost from its current position near the border into the northern Gaza Strip buffer zone. The organizers argue that only seizing territory and establishing Jewish communities will ensure Israel's security and instill a clear consciousness of defeat in the enemy.
Additionally, the movement is calling on the next government to officially adopt a policy of establishing communities in Gaza, revoking the Disengagement Law, and encouraging emigration.
