The Gaza Strip seems very poorly served by the Palestinian Authority, let alone Israel. But, the area has relatively stable borders and it would likely have a stable government in Hamas. So, what if Gaza just declared independence as the government with sole control over the Gaza Strip?
Would Gaza get recognized by other countries? Could it parlay the recognition into forcing a permanent peace with Israel as becoming a recognized country puts Israeli treatment of it into more known sections of international law?
So instead they’re part of Israel, and this just violates the hell out of the UDHR.
They’re (technically) part of the state of Palestine, but both the West Bank and Gaza are still considered occupied by Israel because they basically are. Anyway international law has many laws that should apply to the conflict (Israel has violated plenty of UN resolutions before), but nobody cares to enforce them.
