Extremist Jewish settlers eye Gaza as they seek to expel Palestinians from enclave
Extremist Jewish settler groups, led by figures like Daniella Weiss, are advocating for the establishment of Jewish communities in Gaza and the expulsion of its Palestinian population. Once on the political fringes, these groups have gained traction in Israel following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack. Their calls for resettlement and ethnic cleansing have drawn international condemnation, despite not being officially endorsed by Prime Minister Netanyahu.
