Members of Netanyahu’s party to speak at conference on settling Gaza

Ten members of Netanyahu’s Likud party are scheduled to speak at “Preparing for settlement in Gaza”, a two-day conference hosted by Nachala, a far-right Israeli settler organisation, next week.

Promotional materials for the event, shared by Nachala on X, also promise “practical preparation workshops for settlement in Gaza” as well as a tour of Nirim, a kibbutz in the northwestern Negev desert, near the Israel-Gaza separation fence.

Nachala hosted another conference earlier this year where Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir joined crowds dancing and celebrating and a map was displayed showing plans for 15 illegal Israeli settlements in Gaza.

Israeli lawmaker says ‘Gaza must be annexed’ as settlement conference scheduled

Hanoch Milwidsky, a member of Israel’s Knesset, has shared a post expressing his excitement in advance of a conference on the proposed settlement of Gaza, where he is one of 10 Likud party representatives scheduled to appear.

“We must attach a price tag to the land to anyone who has attacked or will attack the state of Israel,” Milwidsky said in the post on X.

“Therefore, territories from Gaza must be annexed,” he said. “Yes, settlement is the best solution to terrorism and the annexed territories are … worthy of settlement,” he added.

As we reported earlier, the Israeli settler organisation Nachala will host the two-day conference, titled “Preparing for settlement in Gaza” next week.


Israeli settlers’ ambitions for Lebanon and Greater Israel

As Israel expands its incursion into southern Lebanon, the ongoing conflict appears to have emboldened some Israeli settlers’ ambitions to achieve the Zionist “Greater Israel” plan.

That plan envisions Israel claiming all the land between the Euphrates and Nile rivers – territory that is outside Israel’s borders.
