History

Historical Context

Israel’s 2005 unilateral Gaza disengagement dismantled 21 settlements and evacuated about 8,000 settlers, yet the UN and the 2024 International Court of Justice still deem Gaza occupied because Israel controls its air, sea and border crossings. The pullout preceded Hamas’s 2006 election win, the 2023 Oct 7 attack, and the September 2026 raid that killed operative Farah Hamed, showing the persistent link between force and diplomatic pressure.
