"The United States does not support Israel's reoccupation of Gaza," clarified this evening (Monday), a spokesman for the National Security Council at the White House - after the right-wing conference that was held yesterday with the participation of ministers and MKs and called for the rebuilding of settlements within the Gaza Strip.
The White House emphasized: "We are very disturbed by the statements heard last night at a conference in Jerusalem regarding the re-establishment of settlements in Gaza and which were supported by several ministers in the Israeli government. We made it clear to Israel in a way that is not ambiguous that we oppose the forced transfer of the Palestinian population from Gaza."
"The statements on this issue at the conference were inflammatory and irresponsible, and we expect Prime Minister Netanyahu to keep his word when he says that Israel does not intend to occupy Gaza," they said.

Meanwhile, earlier it was published in Walla!
Defense Minister Yoav Galant told senior American officials last week that he and the IDF will not allow the establishment of outposts or settlements in the Gaza Strip - according to four senior American and Israeli officials. The
Biden administration is concerned that the buffer zone that the IDF is currently establishing within the Gaza Strip will serve as a springboard for settlers to establish outposts or settlements in place of those evacuated in 2005 as part of the disengagement plan.
Concern in the American administration has been growing in recent weeks against the backdrop of increasing public pressure from the settler lobby and from members of the coalition to occupy the Gaza Strip and re-establish the settlements.

Yesterday, thousands gathered in the nation's buildings in Jerusalem for the opening of the right-wing conference "For the Victory of Israel" of the Samaria Council, the Nachala movement and other bodies - which, as mentioned, called for settlement in the Gaza Strip: "Settlement brings security - return to the Gaza Strip and northern Samaria."
Among those present were also 11 ministers and 15 Knesset members, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gabir, Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar and Tourism Minister Haim Katz.

Among them, the "Grace to the Thousands" nucleus between Kerem Shalom and Rafah.
The nucleus of Sha'arei Habel Gaza, the nucleus of Maoz, the nucleus of Oz Haim, the nucleus of the city of Gaza and the nucleus of the Yeshii settlement near Nativ Hathara.
The Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gabir, said at the ceremony: "Once again the same mistake in conception, which this time costs us not only in the deportation of thousands of people , but in murder, massacre, rape and looting.
Part of correcting the mistake is to return home - to return to Gush Katif and northern Samaria and offer a moral solution to the humanitarian problem - encouraging immigration."
During his speech, the audience shouted: "Transfer", and Ben Gabir replied: "We should encourage them to leave here." He also addressed the head The government, Binyamin Netanyahu: "It's a shame to wait another 19 years like we waited in northern Samaria.
It's time to go home.
It's time to enact the death penalty for terrorists, it's time to win." Ben Gabir's party announced: "All members of the Otzma Yehudit faction will participate in the conference that is currently being held in the nation's buildings in Jerusalem, calling for the return of Jewish settlement in Gaza."
