Protesters in Sderot marched on Tuesday for the “Gaza March,” showing support for a widespread Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip. According to organizers, thousands took part in the march, which was followed by a rally promoting the idea of “coming home.”
Several organizations associated with the event included the settlement movement Nachala, Torat Lechima—an organization focused on enhancing the Jewish character of the IDF—and the Homesh yeshiva.
Organizers stated that family members of hostages held by Hamas, as well as National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Otzma Yehudit MK Limor Son Har-Melech, addressed the rally.
Construction and Housing Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf expressed support for the march, urging Israelis to join. “This march embodies what God said to Abraham, our forefather,” Goldknopf said.
Ben Gvir, speaking at the rally, told attendees that their participation was the “real solution” to the ongoing conflict. He emphasized the need to return Israelis to Gaza and encourage immigration, framing these actions as essential for resolving the situation. Ben Gvir also discussed his dissenting vote against the transfer of humanitarian aid shipments into Gaza through Kerem Shalom, expressing his shame at being the sole cabinet member to do so.
MK Tzvi Sukkot, from the Religious Zionist party, asserted to the crowd that “whoever expelled the Jews of Gush Katif is directly responsible, with his own hands, for the terrible massacre of October 7.”
