‘Ours forever’: Hundreds march from Sderot to Gaza border to demand resettlement

March by Nachala movement comes as idea of reestablishing Gaza settlements finds support in government and increasingly in the public, and officials threaten to annex the Strip

Hundreds of ultranationalist activists hoping to establish new Israeli settlements in Gaza set out Wednesday evening from a spot close to the Gaza border city of Sderot and began walking westward toward a lookout point less than a kilometer away from the Strip.

The march was organized by the Nachala organization, which aims to reestablish Israeli settlements in Gaza after they were fully evacuated during Israel’s unilateral withdrawal in 2005. The movement has sensed an opening in Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas and, now, with ceasefire negotiations at a standstill, activists are pushing the government to take concrete steps toward resettlement.

The movement’s ideology has support in the government. Israeli officials are reportedly threatening to annex parts of Gaza, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has called the enclave an “inseparable part” of Israel, and other ministers and lawmakers have been urging the leadership to impose military rule over it.

On Wednesday, six cabinet ministers and 16 coalition MKs requested that Defense Minister Israel Katz approve a scouting mission for the activists inside Gaza as part of Nachala’s plan to found Jewish towns in the war-torn territory. Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi (Likud) and MK Limor Son Har Melech (Otzma Yehudit) joined Wednesday evening’s march.
