Ministers join settler activists on march through closed military zone to Gaza border
Security forces do little to stop thousands of marchers from breaching IDF checkpoints while demonstrating for the reestablishment of settlements in the Strip; no arrests reported
On Sunday, thousands of settler activists, joined by 28 Israeli ministers and coalition lawmakers, marched through a closed military zone to the Gaza border, defying IDF orders. The “March of Thousands” marked 21 years since Israel’s evacuation of the Gush Katif settlement bloc and aimed to pressure the government to reestablish settlements in northern Gaza. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir stated, “There will be Jewish settlement in all of Gaza.” Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi also expressed support for Jewish settlement in Gaza, urging Israelis to “plant deep roots in every land granted to our forefathers, including the Gaza region.” Despite roadblocks, many marchers reached a hill overlooking the former Elei Sinai settlement, where they erected an Israeli flag.
