An article published last night on Al-Jazeera's website claims that the choice of the name 'Regavim' for the new checkpoint that the IDF established at the Rafah Crossing indicates the Israeli desire to continue to control Gaza.
"In Hebrew, regavim means 'blocks of dirt' or plots of agricultural land, but it is not just any word. It is a trigger for the Zionist collective memory of land redemption. They frame their presence in Gaza as a form of 'land redemption' identical to the ideology of the early pioneers," the article states.
The author of the article emphasized: "There is a direct connection to the architects of Israel's annexation policy today: the Regavim movement. This extreme right-wing organization was the main force behind the expansion of Israeli control in the occupied West Bank.".

Al Jazeera quoted an investigation by the Haaretz newspaper: "A 2023 investigation by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz detailed how the organization effectively became the state's 'intelligence officer,' using drones and terrain data to map and destroy Palestinian structures in Area C -
"61 percent of the occupied West Bank is under full Israeli control.""
In conclusion, they argued: "This implies that Gaza is no longer a separate entity, but a territory that must be managed with the same tools used to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria.""
The Regavim responded cynically: "Thank you, Al-Jazeera, we are flattered. The rather in-depth analysis is such an invested branding, analysis, and sales promotion service that you gave us for free. We promise to continue to fight with all our might to restore sovereignty and governance and against a terrorist state throughout the borders of our country.".
