Settler leader Yossi Dagan: ‘The Oslo Accords are dead, the people of Israel live’

Chairman of the Samaria Regional Council in the West Bank Yossi Dagan describes the October 7 massacres as “a Holocaust” at the conference to re-establish Israeli settlements in Gaza, and says that those atrocities mean that the Oslo Accords are dead.

In a fiery speech, Dagan, one of the principal organizers of the conference, insists that “the entire Land of Israel is ours” to wild applause, and insists that settlements also bolster security for Israel.

“The Oslo Accords are dead, the people of Israel live,” he declares to thunderous acclaim from the hundreds-strong crowd.

“After the holocaust we suffered [on October 7], the only ethical and godly decision is to return to the northern Samaria settlements and to return to the Gaza Strip, to Gush Katif,” he says referencing also the Israeli settlements in the northern West Bank, which were evacuated in 2005 along with the settlements in Gaza.

“We say to the government, take back our land and rebuild settlements in Samaria and the Gaza Strip.”
