This week, fifteen thousand Israelis marched toward Gaza with a clear message: the time has come to rebuild Jewish communities in Gaza, beginning with northern Gaza. The march reflected a growing belief among many Israelis that lasting security requires more than military victories.

In this video, I explain why I believe true victory over Hamas and jihadist terror requires more than eliminating terrorists and destroying tunnels. Military achievements alone cannot prevent future attacks if hostile forces can eventually return and rebuild. History in both Gaza and southern Lebanon has shown what can happen when security vacuums are created.

I also share my personal memories from the 2005 disengagement protests, including Kfar Maimon and the marches toward Gaza, and how this new movement is fundamentally different. Instead of trying to prevent destruction, we are now marching with the mission to rebuild.
