National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has reportedly made the establishment of Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip a condition for his party's participation in the next coalition government, according to a statement posted Monday evening. The message, circulated by the Otzma Yehudit party, said that settlement in the Gaza Strip will be a demand of Ben-Gvir for a coalition after the elections.
The demand adds to a series of calls by right-wing figures for renewed Jewish settlement in Gaza, including Justice Minister Yariv Levin and the Nachala movement, as The Zioneer has reported. Ben-Gvir has previously advocated for the destruction of Hamas and voluntary emigration of Palestinians from Gaza, and has been under legal pressure from the Attorney General seeking his dismissal.
No further details were provided about the specific settlement plan or the coalition talks. The upcoming elections are expected to take place in the coming months.
