Thousands of settler activists are planning to hold an event on the Gaza border on April 25, during the Passover holiday, where they will establish a tent city with the aim of establishing core groups of settlers that will be responsible for resettling Gush Katif, which was evacuated in 2005 when Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip.
The event is being organized by the Nachala Settlement Movement, which was also behind the “Settlements Bring Security” conference held in Jerusalem in January of this year. The Passover event is being held as a direct continuation of the conference.
On the day of the event, the settler activists will meet in Kibbutz Alumim in southern Israel, and will discuss the logistics of resettling Gaza, including which group of settlers will be assigned to each planned settlement.
At the end of the event, the settlers plan to set up tents “as close as possible to the border with Gaza,” according to one of the event organizers.
