Israel settlers call for resettlement of Gaza
Hundreds of right-wing Israelis gathered at a conference held in the Gaza envelope yesterday to call for the re-establishment of Israeli settlements in the Palestinian strip.
Under the title “Preparing for the Resettlement of Gaza,” the conference was held in an area designated as a closed military zone by the Israeli occupation army, near the Be’eri settlement adjacent to Gaza.
The conference was convened by the Likud Party, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with the participation of ministers, members of parliament and activists from other right-wing parties. Later reports suggest the Likud pulled out of the event after it came under severe criticism.
May Golan, the minister for social equality and advancement of women from the Likud Party, called for the resettlement of Gaza. Haaretz quoted her saying: “We will strike them where it hurts the most – their land. Anyone who uses their land to plan another Holocaust will receive another Nakba from us.”
