The Nachala settlement movement has formally requested that Defense Minister Israel Katz authorize a tour of the northern Gaza Strip, as part of its campaign to re-establish a Jewish presence in the evacuated communities of Nisanit, Dugit, and Eli Sinai.
The request, reported Tuesday morning, is part of the Nachala movement's ongoing campaign to promote renewed Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip, 21 years after the 2005 disengagement. The movement has been increasingly vocal in recent weeks, organizing marches near the border and calling on the government to establish a permanent Israeli presence in the area. Defense Minister Katz has previously signaled openness to a renewed foothold in northern Gaza, stating in July that Nahal nuclei would be established in the evacuated communities once Hamas is formally declared non-compliant with the ceasefire agreement, as The Zioneer reported.
