Question

What is the Gaza Strip? Who controls the Gaza Strip? Why is this an issue?

Answer 1

Hello,

Hamas is a pro-Palestinian group- that many consider a terrorist organization- opposed to Israeli control in the region. Their headquarters is in Gaza, the southwestern territory on the map.

Have a nice day!

Answer 2

Gaza and the West Bank are claimed by the de jure sovereign State of Palestine. The Gaza Strip, or simply Gaza, is a self-governing Palestinian territory on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, that borders Egypt on the southwest for 11 kilometers and Israel on the east and north along a 51 km border. This is an issue becuase the government does not allow the people regular rights.
