Strengthening the Galilee must be prioritized over Gaza to ensure long-term security, growth, and national resilience. Diaspora Affairs Minister MK Amichai Chikli emphasized the need to rebuild Israel's northern communities and address the challenges faced by towns along the Lebanese border. The Galilee plays a critical role in national security and acts as a buffer zone against Hezbollah. Incentivizing Jewish families to settle in the region can preserve Israel's vision as a Jewish and democratic state and address economic disparities. Resettling Gaza would require significant military and political investments, while investing in the Galilee can lead to long-term growth and stability.
