On video: Ministers Ben Gabir, Vassalof and Krei dance with the crowd at the settlement conference in Gaza tonight 01.28.24/without
"This is a delusional conference, we are still in the war, and we are already talking about the day after the war - this is complete bullshit," said Mirav Cohen, a resident of Ein Hasholsha about the right-wing conference that was held last night (Sunday) and called for renewed settlement in the Gaza Strip.
"It won't happen and it doesn't make sense, we need a safety belt but not settlements that will return, it doesn't make sense to even discuss this."
In conversations with the residents of the enclave, it appears that most of them do not believe that the settlement in the Gaza Strip will be re-established, although they believe that a security strip is required in Gaza, without settlements.
Ofer Lieberman, a resident of Kibbutz Nir Am, added, "It is neither possible nor logical to re-establish Gush Katif. We need to maintain a security strip from the Gaza Strip, but it is not certain that these will be settlements that will stand between us and the Gazans."
In contrast, Sderot city resident Batia Kater believes that the Gush Katif must be returned "I think the settlements must be returned as before. When the settlements were in the Gaza Strip, Sderot was much safer. October 7th was the proof that the Gush Katif settlements must be returned."
"An absurd conference, a complete troll. It won't happen and it doesn't make sense."
"Victory to Israel" conference for settlement in Gaza/Shlomi Heller
The conference was held yesterday at the Nation Buildings in Jerusalem with the participation of thousands.
Among those present, 11 ministers and 15 Knesset members.
"Everyone who participated yesterday in the event in the nation's buildings and especially elected officials - learned nothing and a half from the events of the past year, about the importance of actions with a broad national consensus and solidarity in Israeli society," said a member of the War Cabinet, Minister Gadi Eisenkot.
"While the soldiers of the IDF are fighting shoulder to shoulder in a war that has no justice, and while we choose to look for the unifier, even while putting fundamental differences aside for the sake of the common goals - the return of the kidnapped and the defeat of Hamas, others find time for an event that divides Israeli society, increases the lack of The trust that exists in the government and its elected representatives and above all sharpens the divide over the unifier."

"Putting the IDF soldiers at risk, shame on Netanyahu and the Likud." Ministers Itamar Ben Gabir and Shlomo Karai dancing with the audience at the conference/Flash 90, Haim Goldberg
Former Prime Minister and opposition leader Yair Lapid commented on the event on his Telegram account: "The most harmful government in the country's history reaches a new low tonight. The Otzma Yehudit party's settlement conference in Gaza, with many ministers from the Likud party, disgraced Netanyahu and a party that was once at the center The national camp and now helplessly trailing behind the extremists. This is international damage, it is damage to a possible deal, it endangers the IDF soldiers, it is a terrible irresponsibility.
Netanyahu is not qualified, this government is not qualified."
The CEO of the Derchno movement, Nimrod Devik, said: "We called on Prime Minister Netanyahu to prevent the conference where government ministers are conducting a political campaign with a illusory proposal for re-settlement in the Gaza Strip in order to create a 'victory image'. A real picture of victory is when children return to play in Bari and the other surrounding settlements. Netanyahu expressed opposition to the settlement of Gush Katif, but did not prevent his party's ministers from participating in the conference. This nod to the Messianic right is dangerous at this time of war. We need to win, not do politics."
"The best of our sons are risking their lives in the depths of the Gaza Strip, this is not the time."

"There was no discussion in the Shas faction about coming to this conference, it was only natural that this was not the time," said Minister of Social Affairs, Yaakov Margi, Likki Adamker and Israel Cohen in 'Kol Brama'. "This is a very sensitive time, restraint and modesty are needed.
Right now our best sons are deep in the Gaza Strip and are suffering.
I am not educating anyone, that everyone should take responsibility for themselves.
The elected officials need to understand the magnitude of the hour, understand the magnitude of their role and the meaning of the title
they carry."
Stop being drugged," he said on the Seven-Nine show with Udi Segal and Anat Davidoff on Radio 103FM.
"Now everyone understands that where there was a withdrawal we got a holocaust, and where there is settlement there is security. The 1,400 murdered and the 136 kidnapped are because of the withdrawal from Gush Katif and the deportation of the settlers, at the conference we sang and prayed for their return."
