Thousands March Near Gaza Calling for Return of Israeli Settlements

By TrendingWire Newsroom

Thousands of Israeli settlers and right-wing activists marched near the Gaza border on Sunday, urging the government to re-establish Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territory. The demonstration, reported by an AFP journalist, saw participants gather close to the border fence before moving in large numbers toward northern Gaza. Israeli security forces were deployed to prevent protesters from crossing into the area. The Gaza Strip has been heavily damaged by recent conflict, and no Israeli settlements currently exist there. Israel withdrew its settlers and troops from Gaza in 2005. The march reflects ongoing demands by some Israeli groups to resettle the region, a move that would likely face strong international opposition. The event underscores the deep divisions over the future of Gaza amid efforts to negotiate a ceasefire and reconstruction plan.
