Ben-Gvir Proposes Police Seafront Neighborhood Plans Gaza

Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has announced plans to establish a luxurious seafront neighborhood for police officers in the Gaza Strip following the anticipated defeat of Hamas. He framed Jewish settlement in Gaza as a measure to enhance security and emphasized the importance of continuing to expand housing solutions for police across Israel. Ben-Gvir has repeatedly opposed ceasefire initiatives and called for a tougher stance on Gaza, advocating for voluntary Palestinian emigration and a death penalty for terrorists. His vision includes high-rise buildings overlooking the Mediterranean and has been met with applause from senior police officials. However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that his government is not pursuing Gaza resettlement, despite some cabinet members, including Ben-Gvir, pushing for it. These proposals reflect a broader right-wing agenda to reshape Israel’s post-war policy in Gaza.
