  "account": "Thousands of individuals, comprising public figures, ministers, and Knesset members, converged on Sunday from Yad Mordechai towards the northern Gaza Strip border region, advocating for victory and settlement within Gaza. Later, a central rally will be convened, and a sukkah will be erected at the location. The mass demonstration, spearheaded by the Nahala movement alongside other right-wing groups, is occurring under the rallying cry \"Choosing victory, settling in Gaza,\" aiming to persuade the government to advance Jewish settlement in northern Gaza.\n\nThe convoy assembly commenced at the Yad Mordechai Junction at 2 p.m., subsequently embarking on a journey towards the northern Gaza Strip and the erstwhile Netzarim area. The organizers disclosed that in light of the failure of various diplomatic endeavors, their message to the prime minister is that lasting security can only be attained through a permanent civilian presence and territorial control. Right-wing activists are traversing to the Gaza border, advocating for Jewish settlement within Gaza.\n\nNahala movement chairwoman Daniella Weiss stated that the picture of triumph in this conflict will only emerge when all areas of the homeland are reclaimed and settled by Jews. She likened this to the establishment of Zionist settlements through the principle of homa u migdal (tower and stockade). Thousands are departing in convoys, equipped with field living arrangements and intent on restoring Jewish life to Nitzanit and across Gaza. Nahala movement chairman Tzvi Elimelech Sherbaf emphasized that the convoy's presence is to urge the government to sustain its backing for settlements. This assembly and the convoys departing from Yad Mordechai aim to bolster the government's resolve to implement defense minister's proposals for establishing Nahal nuclei, and to halt the arrival of the international force that poses a renewed threat to the residents of the South and the State of Israel. The organizers contend that only Jewish settlement can ensure security, victory, and the realization of the Zionist vision.\n\nAt 4 p.m., a central rally will convene at the northern Gaza Strip observation point, attended by ministers and public figures. A sukkah structure will be erected at the site, accompanied by preparations for an overnight stay near the border, featuring activities and panels for families.",
