Jerusalem, 15 September, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir pledged on Monday to build a neighborhood in Gaza City for israeli police officers once Israel secures control of the area.

“We will complete the decision in Gaza City, and establish a magnificent police neighborhood there facing the sea view,” said Ben-Gvir said during a ceremony honoring distinguished officers. “Settlement brings security, and the time has come for Jewish settlement in Gaza.”

Ben-Gvir cited recent investments in police housing in Jerusalem, Beer-Sheva, Sderot, and Beit Shemesh.
