Twenty-two cabinet ministers and coalition lawmakers have urged Defense Minister Israel Katz to permit settlement groups to tour northern Gaza and assess potential sites for future Israeli settlements. The letter, signed by prominent ministers and lawmakers, supports an initiative by the Nachala Movement, which is known for its involvement in illegal settlement outposts. The signatories argue that northern Gaza, now under Israeli military control and largely empty of residents, should be resettled by Israelis, framing it as both a strategic and historical imperative. The move has drawn attention to growing support within the coalition for resettlement efforts in Gaza, with the Nachala Movement claiming that a third of the coalition backs its mission.
