Gush Emunim

Gush Emunim is a Hebrew term meaning "Block of Faith" and refers to a religious Zionist movement that emerged in Israel in the late 1960s. It advocates for the Jewish settlement of all parts of the biblical Land of Israel, including areas captured during the 1967 Six-Day War. The movement combines religious beliefs with political goals, emphasizing the idea that settling these lands is a divine obligation. Gush Emunim has played a significant role in encouraging and supporting the expansion of Israeli communities in territories such as the West Bank, often emphasizing religious and nationalistic convictions.
