Israeli settler leader 'visited Gaza' to scout settlement locations

Israeli settler leader Daniella Weiss has said she recently visited northern Gaza to scout locations for future Israeli settlements there. 

During an interview on Channel 13 on Saturday, Weiss said she has the support of 740 families to establish settlements in the Palestinian territory and was hoping to grow support from "one to two million Israelis". 

"Yesterday we were on a tour at a temporary site near the Gaza border, where we set up 40 trailers that we will eventually move into Gaza," she said on the evening news programme. 

"The truth is we are still a few steps away from real estate, but yes, I was in the field," Weiss told the interviewer when he questioned if she entered Gaza after 7 October.
