Israeli Settlement Minister Orit Strock on Monday called for the rebuilding of settlements in the Gaza Strip, asserting that "Gaza is part of Israel not only according to the Torah and Halakha, but also according to international law." Her remarks followed a march by Israeli government ministers and thousands of settlers towards the Gaza border to support settlement building, marking the 21st anniversary of Israel's evacuation of the Gush Katif settlement bloc. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also stated, "there will be Jewish settlements across all of Gaza, and we will encourage migration." These calls come amid an ongoing Israeli offensive in Gaza.
