About a month ago, the nuclear families of the "Pioneers of Gaza" immigrated with caravans to the south, with the intention of settling in the northern border of the Gaza Strip. As you may recall, yesterday (Wednesday), Finance Minister Smotrich commented on the Prime Minister's remarks about the Sparta speech, saying that "there is a real estate bonanza in Gaza."Minister Smotrich: "There is a real estate bonanza in Gaza"
The nuclear families state that the temporary move is intended to prepare the ground for actual entry into the permanent settlements. "We moved to the caravans to be as close to Gaza as possible, until we can return and resettle in Nissanit, Eli Sinai and Dugit."
Daniela Weiss, chairwoman of the Nachla movement: "The upcoming Sukkot holiday symbolizes for us not only the sitting in the Sukkah but also the return to Gaza. Nissanit is the immediate destination - this is just the beginning of the road, from which we will continue to the entire Gaza Strip until we establish Jewish settlements throughout the Gaza Strip."
According to the movement, the nucleus of the "Gaza Pioneers" is part of a broad movement of over a thousand families who have already signed a full readiness to move to the land. The move to the caravans and the preparations for Sukkot in Nissanit are significant steps on the way to establishing new settlements in Gaza.
"We've done the demolition phase, now we need to build"
As mentioned, Finance Minister Smotrich was a guest last night (Wednesday) at the Real Estate Center's Urban Renewal Summit and took exception to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks that we must become a "Super Sparta."

"I don't agree with the Prime Minister's words," said the Finance Minister. "There are certain countries whose approach to Islam creates an arms embargo. It's not right to create a blitz of self-production. I really didn't like the comparison to Sparta. We will have to fortify our military power as stronger."
The Finance Minister was also asked where he thought the first settlement in the Gaza Strip should be built. "There is a business plan that was built by the most professional people and is sitting on President Trump's desk," he replied.
According to him, "There's a real estate bonanza there. How does this thing pay for itself? I started negotiations with the Americans, no kidding. I talked to them seriously because I'm not demanding much either, we paid a lot of money for this war. We need to divide up how we make a percentage on the land. We've done the demolition phase, now we need to build."
