GAZASTRIP

Gaza Strip

The Gaza Strip is a self-governing entity on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea that borders Egypt on the southwest and Israel on the east and north . Since 2007, the Gaza Strip is de-facto governed by Hamas, a Palestinian faction claiming to be the legitimate representatives of the Palestinian National Authority and the Palestinian People. Since 2012, Gaza Strip has been recognized by the UN as part of the State of Palestine and is claimed by the Palestinian government in Ramallah; however implementation of Palestinian reconciliation to allow the merger of Gaza and Ramallah administrations have so far failed.
