Thousands, including ministers from Netanyahu's party, gathered in Jerusalem Sunday for a conference calling to re-settle the Gaza Strip.
At least 12 Israeli ministers participated in the conference about rebuilding Israeli settlements in Gaza and encouraging displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, Israeli journalist Barak Ravid reported.
Ministers Ben Gvir, Bezalel Smotrich and several others from Netanyahu's Likud party gave "supportive speeches", he said.
Itay Epshtain, a special advisor for the Norwegian Refugee Council, said that within the first hour of the conference a plan was presented for the re-establishment of 15 Israeli settlements and the addition of 6 new ones.
The proposals are located on destroyed Palestinian communities.
