| | Gaza Strip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Religious and nationalist Jews claim the entire Gaza Strip as part of Israel while Palestinians claim it as part of a future Palestinian state. | | | The plan required the dismantling of all Israeli settlements there, and the removal of all Israeli settlers and military bases from the Strip, a process that was completed on September 12, 2005 as the Israeli cabinet formally declared an end to military rule in the Gaza Strip after 38 years of control. | | | The future political status of the Gaza Strip remains undecided, and is claimed as part of any prospective Palestinian state. |
