History

Historical Context

In 2005, Israel's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza led to increased tensions and the rise of Hamas, which has since governed the territory. The Palestinian Authority, under Mahmoud Abbas, has struggled to regain control amid dire humanitarian conditions affecting 1.8 million residents. Abbas's recent pledge to collaborate with the United Nations highlights ongoing efforts to stabilize the region amid Israel's military actions and the persistent humanitarian crisis.
