Smotrich Says Israel Has Plans Drawn Up To Establish Three Jewish Settlements In Gaza, Waiting For Netanyahu’s Ok

Israeli military officials say that the IDF now occupies 70% of Gaza

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Monday that the Israeli government has plans drawn up to establish three Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip and is just waiting for approval from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The settlements, which would clearly be illegal under international law, are being planned by the Israeli Defense Ministry’s Settlement Administration, a body created under Smotrich, who also holds a position in the Defense Ministry, in 2023.

Smotrich said the administration has “completed the groundwork to establish three settlements in the north Gaza area” and called on Netanyahu to “give the approval” in order to “complete the mission and restore true security for the residents of the south.”

Israeli military officials said last week that the IDF now controls 70% of Gaza , a violation of the US-backed ceasefire deal, which left Israeli troops occupying about 53% of the Palestinian territory. The deal explicitly stated that Israel couldn’t take any more territory if Hamas fulfilled its obligations under the agreement, which the group did by releasing all remaining Israeli hostages and retrieving the bodies of the deceased Israelis.

Israeli officials claim Hamas has violated the deal by not disarming, but Hamas didn’t commit to laying down its weapons under the ceasefire deal. The issues of the group’s disarmament and Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza were meant to be worked out in follow-up negotiations, which have been impeded by Israel’s constant violations of the agreement, which have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians.
