History

Historical Context

Israel’s 2005 unilateral Gaza disengagement, championed by Ariel Sharon, removed about 8,000 settlers and dismantled 21 settlements but left Israel controlling air, sea and border crossings, a status the United Nations still calls an occupation. The ensuing Hamas-run rule sparked recurring clashes, and the April 24 2024 Israeli airstrike on Gaza City echoes that post-disengagement violence.
