Israeli Plans for Resettlement in Gaza Gain Momentum Amid Military Operations

Israeli right-wing parties are advancing plans to resettle the Gaza Strip, with six settlement outposts already planned, amid ongoing military operations aimed at displacing local residents.

The push for resettlement in Gaza reflects a broader strategy by Israeli right-wing factions to solidify control over contested territories, leveraging military operations to facilitate demographic changes.

The establishment of a parliamentary lobby dedicated to renewing Jewish settlement in Gaza signifies a growing political consensus among certain factions in Israel, potentially leading to increased tensions in the region.

If the current trajectory continues, we may see the establishment of new settlement outposts in Gaza within the next few months, as indicated by settlement leaders.

The ongoing military operations and resettlement plans could exacerbate humanitarian crises in Gaza, leading to international condemnation and potential diplomatic repercussions for Israel.


Israeli right-wing parties and settlement movements are advancing plans to resettle the Gaza Strip, with six engineering plans already completed for settlement outposts in the northern region. The 'Jewish Power' party has proposed legislation to annul the 2005 disengagement plan, aiming to rebuild settlements evacuated from 'Gush Katif'. These developments coincide with a military operation that has been ongoing for nine weeks, which critics argue is aimed at forcibly displacing residents of northern Gaza.

The initiative, dubbed 'Lighting Gaza', is set to coincide with the Hanukkah holiday, symbolizing a revival of settlement efforts. Israeli Housing Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf has been actively involved in promoting these plans, conducting tours in the region alongside settlement leaders, despite official denials of such intentions from Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Settlement leaders, including Daniella Weiss, are preparing to establish mobile homes and caravans in the northern Gaza Strip, with plans for unofficial settlement outposts that would later be recognized as official. This effort is supported by significant financial contributions from Jewish communities worldwide, indicating a strong backing for the resettlement initiative.
