Ytzhak

Ytzhak is a 22-year-old Israeli settler from a religious family in Jerusalem, who has been living in the settlement of Metzad in the southern West Bank for three years. He embodies the views of the 'young hill dwellers' (No’ar HaGvaot), a group of extremist Orthodox Jews who advocate for the expulsion of Palestinians from the region, believing it is their divine right to reclaim these lands. Ytzhak expresses a strong belief in the biblical claim to the land and views the current geopolitical situation through a lens of religious nationalism, reflecting the heightened tensions and violent rhetoric following the October 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas.
