The Lobby for the Renewal of Jewish Settlement in the Gaza Strip met in the Knesset on Sunday. The meeting was initiated by lobby chairs MK Limor Son Har-Melech and MK Tzvi Sukkot, in partnership with the Nachala settlement movement.
The meeting focused on the launch of so-called “Garinei Nachal” (military youth communities) in the Gaza Strip, and followed recent statements by Defense Minister Israel Katz, who has said several times that Israel will establish such communities in the northern Gaza Strip.
Deputy Knesset Speaker and chair of the Lobby for the Renewal of Jewish Settlement in the Gaza Strip, MK Limor Son Har-Melech, said in a request to Defense Minister Israel Katz: “…This is the right direction – the security and moral approach required at this time. Establishing military youth groups is the first and necessary step toward solidifying our presence on the ground.”
Weiss stated, “Everybody knows, I believe that Trump will also understand, that we are going to stay in Gaza forever. Gaza does not belong to the people who now threaten us all the time. Gaza belongs to the people of Israel and today was a historical moment.”
