Israeli Right Pushes for Gaza Settlements Ahead of Upcoming Elections

As Israel approaches elections on October 27, far-right leaders are intensifying their campaign to re-establish Jewish settlements in Gaza, emphasizing this as a key issue. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich led a rally at the Gaza perimeter, advocating for the return of settlements that were dismantled in 2005.
