On Tuesday, Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli tweeted: “I proposed last night at the cabinet meeting that as a response to the murder of our people, we will charge an immediate price in land appropriation, and create another northern corridor, that is, retake control of the northern boundary area (where Dugit, Nisanit, and Elei Sinai stood before the 2005 expulsion), and move the perimeter fence to the south.”
The movement seeking a return to Gaza never died among conservative, right-leaning Israelis. A group calling itself “Returning to settling Gaza” is pushing Minister Chikli’s idea of punishment through land confiscation. Since fanatical Islamists don’t care for their lives or the lives of others, their land matters to them. With that said, the goal is to take it away from them and settle Jews there.
Back on June 29 former IDF Spokesman General (res.) Moti Almaz was asked if it’s the right thing to carve out slices of Gaza and responded: “It’s a price tag here for those who raised a hand against Jews in Israel. They will lose territory. this is a price tag that Zionism set, and the State of Israel decided to give up. We must learn the lesson of October 7 – we must have territory. We will use this territory not as an occupation, not as a finger in the eye. When you take an area and plant something in the area – you say something about it. I am here because that’s the only way I can protect the Gaza envelope communities.”
