History

Historical Context

Israel’s 2005 unilateral disengagement removed about 8,600 settlers from 21 Gaza settlements under Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, while retaining air, sea and border control. The move followed years of rocket attacks and a 2004 Knesset vote approving the plan. Current Israeli operations in Gaza invoke that precedent, raising concerns about renewed civilian displacement and future cease-fire talks.
