	Gaza Strip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gaza Strip industries are generally small family businesses that produce textiles, soap, olive-wood carvings, and mother-of-pearl souvenirs; the Israelis have established some small-scale modern industries in an industrial center.
		The Gaza strip has a single standard gauge railway line running the entire length of the strip from north to south along its center, however, it is abandoned and in disrepair, and little trackage remains.
		The Gaza strip has a rudimentary telephone service provided by an open wire system, one TV station run by the Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation (which is controlled by the Palestinian Authority) as well as some other local independent stations, and no radio stations.

		Most of Gaza is governed by the Palestinian National Authority and is the core territory of the new state, while areas of fertile agricultural land are administered by Israel.
		The oldest sources on Gaza tell that it was the residence of the Egyptian governor to Canaan.

	Gaza Strip (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
		Gaza was an important city in the 15th century BC, when the Egyptian king Thutmose III made it a base for his army in a war with Syria.
		In the 8th century BC it was conquered by the Assyrians; from the 3rd to the 1st century BC, Egyptian, Syrian, and Hebrew armies fought for its possession.
		Although the city of Gaza has bazaars and markets and some light industry, and the Gaza Strip is an established citrus producing area, the economy cannot support the large population, which has been aided by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East.

	Issues Arising from Implementation of Disengagement and the End of Israeli Occupation in the Gaza Strip
		for Gaza in the aftermath of disengagement is a laudable sentiment insofar as it relates to the provision and facilitation of humanitarian assistance.
		First and foremost, an end to Israel's occupation of the Gaza Strip removes a basic reference point for the conduct of third party and international affairs with Israel as Occupying Power and with the Gaza Strip itself, and not only because Israel intends to sever itself from responsibility for the area and its population.
		An end to its occupation of Gaza reduces, at the very least, the territorial dimensions of its conflict with the Palestinians for whom liberation of the occupied territories is the sine qua non of Palestinian national life.

		An official Egyptian document on the 1948 Palestinians (1) said that on April 24, 1948, the Ministry of Social Affairs in Egypt was requested to be prepared to receive immigrants from Palestine.
		When the Gaza Strip finally came under Egyptian administration, a decision was made by the Egyptian Council of Ministers in September 1949 to transfer all Palestinian refugees from the Qantara camp to the Gaza Strip.
		The Egyptian solidarity reached a climax with the passage of the partition of Palestine resolution by the UN General Assembly in November 29, 1947.

		However, it rejects the overall de jure applicability of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 to the OPT on the ground that the status of the territories occupied by Israel in 1967 was uncertain.
		Furthermore, the end of occupation in Gaza is without prejudice to the application of the Hague Regulations, Geneva Conventions and customary rules of international humanitarian law to the West Bank or Israel.
		The legal status of international agencies active in the Gaza Strip is defined by their status under international law or, by extension, their mandate as stipulated by the General Assembly of the United Nations or other organs of the United Nations.

		Israeli occupation forces have blocked Salah al-Din road, the main traffic artery between the northern and southern parts of the Gaza strip, while closing all bypass routes, thus impeding movement between Palestinian towns.
		As a result, the Gaza Strip is suffering a shortage of many medicines, which may cause a health disaster in the case of an Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip.
		According to the students’ affairs department of the Islamic University in Gaza, approximately 40% of the university students and 25% of the university employees are from the southern and central Gaza Strip.

	Gaza: The Gaza Strip
		However, Gaza depends on Israel for nearly 90% of its imports (largely food, consumer goods, and construction materials) and exports (mainly citrus fruit and other agricultural products), as well as employment, and the economy, such as it is, has been devastated by recent fighting.
		After the armistice agreement of 1949 until the 1967 war (with the exception of the Israeli occupation from Nov., 1956, to Mar., 1957), the Gaza Strip was under Egyptian administration.
		Although the Gaza Strip has seen less fighting with Israelis than the West Bank, in 2003 the Israeli army moved more aggressively to control sections of the Gaza Strip in response to Palestinian attacks.

		The Israeli occupation forces have tightened their siege closing all main, branch, and back roads in the Gaza Strip, transforming it into three isolated cantons since December 30, 2000, after a car bomb in Nathania in the north of Israel, which injured 55 Israelis.
		Under the current siege imposed by the Israeli occupation forces, the Gaza Strip is suffering a severe economic crisis that has affected all economic sectors (trade, industry, agriculture, labor, tourism, transportation, and investment).
		Although the main roads of the Gaza strip were reopened and the siege was eased, tanks and military jeeps of the Israeli occupation forces still pose a serious threat to the safety of students.

	Gaza: Legacy of Occupation
		It was the beginning of my journey into understanding what it means to be Palestinian in the Gaza Strip.
		It is impossible to overstate the extent to which life under Israeli occupation was exhausting and traumatic.
		To begin understanding the present, it is crucial to understand how Palestinians themselves understand their own experience, how they understand this legacy and its weight upon their collective future.

	Israel and Palestine
		Under the Gaza withdrawal plan, full administration of the Gaza strip would be turned over to the Palestinian authority which presently controls 80% of the area.
		Under the terms of the first agreement, Palestinian rule was to be provided to the Gaza Strip and Jericho and this was accomplished in 1994.
		Present U.S. policy is consistent with the principles set forth in the 1978 Camp David Accords in that the status of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank is to remain unresolved until there is a final agreement between interested parties.

		Most particularly, the PA is demanding a set of guarantees, or at least understandings, that the Gaza withdrawal would be an integral part of the American- backed roadmap for peace between Israel and the Palestinians and in no way allow Israel to have a free hand in the West Bank.
		He pointed out that all Palestinian groups and factions were unanimous in their appreciation of that role, the purpose of which he said was to help the Palestinians, and not anything else.
		In Shaath's view, Sharon is trying to consolidate the Israeli occupation of the West Bank in return for withdrawal from Gaza, adding that the PA was mobilising regional and international efforts to pressure Israel to carry through with the roadmap as it is.

		For the Palestine overprint this stamp is printed in colours changed from those used for the Egyptian issue.

		The primary error is that Gaza belongs to its mostly Arab inhabitants.
		Gaza, which had previously been a province of the Ottoman Empire, became after the First World War part of the British Mandate of Palestine.
		In proposing the abandonment of Gaza by its approximately 7,500 Jewish inhabitants, who, in stark contrast to the Arabs surrounding them, have created prosperous communities, industries and agriculture in the area, there is nothing at all that the Israelis are expected to receive for such an enormous sacrifice.

	The World Factbook 2004 -- Field Listing - Economy - overview
		Economic output in the Gaza Strip - under the responsibility of the Palestinian Authority since the Cairo Agreement of May 1994 - declined by about one-third between 1992 and 1996.
		The most serious negative social effect of this downturn was the emergence of high unemployment; unemployment in the WBGS during the 1980s was generally under 5%; by 1995 it had risen to over 20%.
		Recovery was upended in the last quarter of 2000 with the outbreak of Palestinian violence, triggering tight Israeli closures of Palestinian self-rule areas and a severe disruption of trade and labor movements.

		Member of Fatah Executive Committee Yasser Abdrabbo denied reports that Egyptian Minister Omar Soliman tried yesterday to talk with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat into moving from Ramallah to Gaza in return for setting up a Palestinian state in 2005.
		There are issues under discussion pertaining to withdrawal of the occupation forces from Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank, he said.
		The Palestinian Authority has set its conditions for this pull-out for it should be conducive to a full withdrawal from all the Palestinian lands and up to the 1967 borders, he added.

		The peace treaties between Israel and Jordan and Egypt acknowledge that Jordan and Egypt had illegally occupied the West Bank and Gaza strip, respectively, from 1948-67.
		Roughly half of Israel's 5 million Jews — from a population of 6.2 million, of whom roughly 20 percent are Arab, Druze, and Bedouin Israelis — is now composed of these refugees and their descendants, who received no humanitarian aid from the United Nations.
		At no time during these occupations did 'Palestinians' or any other Arab group demand an additional Palestinian state or claim Jerusalem as their capital.

	Anti-Semitism, Misinformation, And the Whitewashing Of The Palestinian Leadership
		In other words, when Egypt and Jordan owned, respectively, Gaza and the West Bank, the PLO stated that these countries were the rightful owners of those two territories.
		And it was then that the PLO decided that the West Bank and Gaza had become 'Palestinian' lands, which needed to be liberated.
		The Egyptian, Syrian, Lebanese, Jordanian and Saudi armies and Iraqi and Palestinian irregulars did not invade Israel because it had attacked or threatened those countries, but because Israel had chosen to exist.

	DDN Articles - The Injustice done to the Arab World!!!
		This war lasted only six days, but it ended with Israel’s occupation of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, the Egyptian administered Gaza strip, Jordan’s West bank and Syrian’s Golan Heights.
		This has ushered in various periods of territorial occupation in Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq etc. This is a miserable record, which for the Arabs, has inevitably become their history.
		Their hope is that God shall help them realize that it is against the background of injustice to the Arab world that in September 2001, Osama Bin Laden decided to shock and shake the entire world by bombing the World Power (the United States).
