The Nachala settlement movement launches a new campaign against the ceasefire and hostage release deal with Hamas, with the tagline “Occupy, expel, settle.”
A campaign flier says Netanyahu has “no mandate” to continue with what the organization dubs the “total capitulation” of the agreement.
Nachala says in announcing the campaign that “a reality in which Hamas sets the rules and kidnapping Jews becomes the thing that pays off the best” would represent a criminal failure to think of the future.
“You don’t sell Israel’s security and you don’t give up on one part of the Land of Israel. There’s only one solution, a blue and white Gaza,” the flier says.
“Occupy, expel, settle the entire Gaza Strip.”
This appears to be the first time Nachala has included the term “expel” in reference to the residents of Gaza in its campaign material. The organization has campaigned and lobbied heavily for reestablishing Jewish settlements in Gaza during the war, which was halted last week after 15 months of fighting.
A spokesperson for Nachala says the organization will be organizing conferences and demonstrations as part of the campaign in the coming weeks.
