Israel's Settler Agenda: A Trojan Horse in Gaza Israeli ministers, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, recently joined a march to the Gaza border, demanding the return of Jewish settlements evacuated 17 years ago.
This development marks a disturbing escalation in Israel's settler agenda, which has become a mainstream push with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party and other coalition figures at its forefront.
The withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 was supposed to be a major concession by Israel, but it has become clear that this move was merely a tactical retreat.
