Strock becomes Israel's first Settlements and National Missions minister

In December 2022 Orit Strock — a leader of the Hebron settler community and founder of a "Judea and Samaria" rights NGO — became the first holder of the new Settlements and National Missions Ministry, with influence over settlement development and ideological "national mission" programming. In office she criticized security officials for labelling settler attacks on Palestinians "terrorism" and pressed to resettle Gaza, embodying the government's pro-settlement, hardline turn.
