- The Gaza Strip is the southern region of the Palestinian coastal plain on the Mediterranean Sea.
- In the form of a narrow strip northeast of the Sinai Peninsula
- It is one of two isolated areas (the other is the West Bank) within the borders of Mandatory Palestine that were not controlled by Zionist forces in the 1948 war.
- It did not become within the borders of the nascent State of Israel at that time,
- and it constitutes approximately 1.33% of the area of Palestine.
- The Gaza Strip is named after its largest city, Gaza.
Gaza strip
The sector extends over an area of 360 square kilometers, its length is 41 km,
and its width ranges between 5 and 15 km. Israel borders the Gaza Strip to the north and east,
While it is bordered by Egypt to the southwest. It forms part of the territory sought by the Palestinian Authority
To create a state within its borders through negotiation more than 20 years ago within the framework of the two-state solution.
In 1917, Gaza City fell into the hands of the English army, and the surrounding area,
along with the rest of the cities of Palestine, fell under the British Mandate of Palestine in 1920.
