Gaza Strip

From Conservapedia

The Gaza Strip is a narrow coastal strip of land that runs along the Mediterranean Sea. It takes its name from Gaza the main city that has about 1.4 million residents who are all Palestinians^{[Citation Needed]} in an area of 360 km and is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Historically the Gaza Strip was part of the land controlled by ancient Israel after the removal of the Philistines. In modern times the Gaza Strip was ruled a part of Israel by the international community,^{[Citation Needed]} but the Israeli government disputes this and liquidated its settlement in the strip in 2005. The settlers removed, numbering only a few thousand, were generally opposed to this idea and protested, but eventually did leave. This liquidation affectively relinquished control, although military incursions back into the Gaza Strip are frequent. Israel controls the Gaza strip’s airspace and offshore maritime access but the strip itself is controlled by the Palestinian Authority.
