History

Historical Context

In August-September 2005 Israel unilaterally withdrew its 8,600 settlers from 21 Gaza settlements, demolishing the communities while keeping control of airspace, borders and the population registry. Hamas then seized power in 2007 and a blockade began, creating a security vacuum that later fueled the October 2023 war and the current cease-fire now being violated.
