Gaza is
a densely populated strip of land that is mostly surrounded by Israel and
peopled almost exclusively by Palestinians.
Egypt
controlled Gaza until 1967, when Israel occupied it (along with the West Bank)
in the Six Day War.
Gaza is
governed by the Islamist group Hamas, which formed in 1987 as a militant
"resistance" group against Israel and won political power in a 2006
U.S.-based election.
Gaza
forms a part of the Palestinian territory defined in the Oslo Agreements and UNSC Resolution 1860.[3]
