20 Years Later: Former Gush Katif Residents Weigh Return to Gaza
In 2005, Israel forcibly evacuated around 10,000 residents from Gush Katif in the Gaza Strip, hoping that the withdrawal would pave the way for peace. Instead, the disengagement was followed by relentless terror attacks and, most devastatingly, the October 7 massacre that claimed 1,200 Jewish lives. Nearly 20 years later, new proposals from US President Donald Trump and other regional leaders, including figures from Saudi Arabia and Egypt, are reopening the debate on whether Jews can return to Gaza. For more insights into this bold new proposal and its potential to reshape the future of Gaza, read the full story by Maayan Hoffman of The Media Line.
