Elchanan Wolf, secretary-general of the religious Zionist Ariel youth movement, sent a letter to Defense Minister Israel Katz and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Tuesday proposing the immediate establishment of a Nahal settlement nucleus in the northern Gaza Strip. The nucleus would consist of movement graduates and soldiers on furlough, with Wolf stating the group is ready to answer the 'national call' and describing Jewish settlement in Gaza as 'absolute victory.' The proposal comes amid ongoing advocacy by settlement groups for re-establishing Israeli communities in the strip. The Nachala movement, as The Zioneer has reported, has called for similar outposts in recent months. No official response from the ministers has been reported.
