Daniella Weiss, head of the far-right Nachala organization which has organized the resettle Gaza conference by the enclave’s border, claims that Strip’s Palestinian population must leave the territory since they “lost their right” to reside there due to the October 7 massacre.

“Wars bring about the terrible thing of refugees. October 7 changed history, as a result of the brutal massacre Gazan Arabs lost their right to be here, they will not stay here, they will go to different countries, we will convince the world,” declares Weiss, a veteran campaigner for the construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza.

“We came here to settle the entire Gaza Strip, from north to south, not just part of it,” she says of the purpose of the conference itself.

Weiss says that Nachala has set up six “settlement groups” comprising 700 families in total “who are ready right now” to establish new settlements in Gaza.

“Soon these families will be able to enjoy the Gaza coast,” she says.

Along with Nachala, the Religious Zionism and Otzma Yehudit coalition parties have also participated in organizing the conference, while the Likud party has a sizable delegation of MKs and at least one minister scheduled to attend the event.
