Extremist Jewish settlers eye Gaza as they seek to expel Palestinians from enclave

Summary: Extremist Jewish settlers, led by Daniella Weiss and her group Nachala, are pushing to build Jewish settlements in Gaza. Their goal is to force all Palestinians out of the area. While this idea used to be on the extreme edge of Israeli politics, it is gaining mainstream support. One recent poll showed that 82% of Israeli Jews support removing Palestinians from Gaza. Weiss and her group have faced sanctions from the UK and Canada, but she remains determined. She recently stated her ambitions go beyond Gaza, claiming she wants to settle in Lebanon and Syria next.
