Marš koji je organizirala radikalna naseljenika grupa Nahala privukao je tisuće izraelskih sudionika prema granici Gaze u nedjelju, s izjavljenim ciljem ponovnog uspostavljanja naseljeničkog bloka na sjeveru Gaze koji je razoren tijekom izraelskog povlačenja 2005. godine. Sudionici su izrazili svoju želju za povratkom u to područje, predstavljajući to kao povratak domovima. Policija i vojnici postavili su blokade kako bi spriječili izravan pristup granici, što je potaknulo mlađe sudionike marša da pješače kroz teške pješčane dine blizu Zikima nekoliko kilometara kako bi došli do ograde. Iako su organizatori izvijestili da je 23 ministra i članova Knesseta obećalo prisustvovanje, većina ih nije došla; ministar financija Bezalel Smotrich i ministar nacionalne sigurnosti Itamar Ben-Gvir stigli su na mjesto okupljanja, ali nisu nastavili prema ogradi. Na kraju marša, stotine iscrpljenih sudionika—pretežno djece—dobilo je vodu i prijevoz od vojske natrag do početne točke. Ovaj događaj ilustrirao je da je napredovanje naseljenika prema granici i dalje ovisilo o vojnom angažmanu i podršci.

Thousands of Israelis, organized by the settler group Nahala, marched toward the Gaza border calling for the re-establishment of settlements in northern Gaza dismantled in 2005. Despite police blockades, younger marchers trekked through sand dunes to reach the border fence, though the military ultimately evacuated exhausted participants back to the starting point.

Summary

A march organized by the radical settler group Nahala drew thousands of Israeli participants toward the Gaza border on Sunday, with the stated goal of calling for the re-establishment of the settlement block in northern Gaza that was dismantled during Israel's 2005 disengagement. Participants expressed their desire to return to the area, framing it as reclaiming homes. Police and soldiers established roadblocks to prevent direct access to the border, prompting younger marchers to trek through difficult sand dunes near Zikim over several kilometers to reach the border fence. Although organizers reported that 23 ministers and Knesset members had promised attendance, most did not appear; Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir arrived at the gathering point but did not proceed to the fence. By the march's conclusion, hundreds of exhausted participants—predominantly children—were provided water and transportation by the military back to the starting point. The event illustrated that settler advancement toward the border remained dependent on military involvement and support.

March organized by Nahala toward Gaza border

Thousands of Israelis took part in a march toward the Gaza border on Sunday, organized by the radical settler group Nahala. The march was called for the re-establishment of the block of settlements in northern Gaza that was dismantled during Israel's 2005 disengagement. One participant expressed their motivation, saying they came to voice their longing: "Like my father, my desire, my hope, to return home."

Police blockade and trek through sand dunes

Police and soldiers set up roadblocks, preventing most of the protesters from marching directly toward the border. The younger marchers then began climbing the hills near Zikim, crossing the sand dunes and trekking several difficult kilometers through the sand until they reached the border fence.

Limited political attendance and military evacuation

According to the organizers, 23 ministers and Knesset members had promised to attend the event. Most of them ultimately did not show up. A few, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, did arrive at the gathering point, but none made it to the border fence. By the end of the march, hundreds of exhausted participants, most of them children, were left in the hands of the military. The army provided them with water and took them back to the starting point, even transporting some of them in military vehicles.

Symbolic outcome and military dependency

The scene proved to be a symbolic and powerful image, demonstrating that in practice, the settlers could not advance toward the border without the army's involvement and support.

0:22 Došao sam izraziti svoju čežnju: bol, želju, nadu da se vratim kući.

0:28 Policija i vojnici postavili su blokade, sprječavajući većinu prosvjednika da marširaju prema granici.

0:35 Mlađi sudionici marša tada su počeli penjati se na brežuljke blizu Zikima.

0:45 Prema organizatorima, 23 ministra i članova Knesseta obećalo je prisustvovati događaju.

0:51 Većina njih na kraju se nije pojavila.

0:54 Nekoliko njih, uključujući ministra financija Vatsalesa Smotriča i ministra nacionalne sigurnosti Itamara Ben-Gvira, došlo je na mjesto okupljanja, ali nitko nije stigao do ograde granice.

1:11 Vojska im je osigurala vodu i vratila ih na početnu točku, čak su neke od njih prevezli vojnim vozilima.

1:18 Bila je to simbolična i snažna slika, koja je ponovno dokazala.

1:21 U praksi, doseljenici nisu mogli napredovati bez sudjelovanja vojske.
