A large ultranationalist demonstration is set to take place next week in Jerusalem, advocating for the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza and the construction of Jewish settlements in the region.The event, titled “Occupation, Expulsion, and Settlement,” is being organized by the Nachala settlement movement along with other right-wing organizations that have pushed for full Israeli control and settlement in Gaza since the early months of the war following the October 7 attacks.Nachala, known for its efforts in establishing illegal settlement outposts in the West Bank, has hosted multiple events during the war to promote Jewish resettlement in Gaza—a policy that has received support from several cabinet ministers, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.
Ultranationalist activists, reportedly backed by Nachala, made multiple attempts during the war to enter Gaza and establish Jewish settlements, but were ultimately removed by the Israeli army.The demonstration on Thursday, set to take place at Paris Square in Jerusalem, comes just ahead of the final round of hostage-prisoner exchanges between Israel and Hamas, marking the completion of the first phase of the broader ceasefire agreement between the two sides.
