he isn't a a diplomat. change it please. 84.110.218.178 ( talk) 08:35, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
The article mentions that the open air prison characterization began when the 2007 blockade started, but this is not true. See for example Amira Haas' 1995 book with a whole chapter called "Gaza Prison" discussing the permit system and restrictions on movement which go back to at least 1991.
Additionally, as early as 2004 Giora Eiland referred to it as a "huge concentration camp" https://www.makan.org.uk/glossary/the-gaza-strip/
Even in 2008 (just a year after the beginning of the blockade), Adalah described the conditions: "The metaphor of the Gaza Strip as the world’s largest prison is unfortunately outdated. Israel now treats the Strip more like a zoo." DMH223344 ( talk) 16:46, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
This recent edit dispute should be discussed.
I personally favour the version reading "The current land, sea, and air blockade [...]"
- IOHANNVSVERVS ( talk) 09:44, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
"The Egyptian government, after all, has been party to the 16-year-long Israeli blockade of Gaza, enforcing tight controls on what comes in and out of the enclave through the border crossing at Rafah."(emphasis mine)
control of Rafah Crossing must be seen in the context of Israel's control of all the other crossing points of the Gaza Strip - land, air and sea - which make Gaza a "land-locked" territory, dependent on Rafah Crossing for contact with the outside world. That control has significant implications for Israel's responsibility for Rafah Crossing. Gisha - Legal Center for Ereedom of Movement (Gisha) and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel (PHR-Israel) take the position that Israel continues to constitute an occupying power in the Gaza Strip, because it controls significant aspects of life in Gaza, including its borders, the Palestinian population registry, the tax system and the funding of public services; therefore, we ascribe to it increased responsibility for the freedom of movement of the residents of the Gaza Strip.
DMH223344 ( talk) 15:39, 27 March 2024 (UTC)The Rafah crossing is unlikely to be opened for goods anytime soon. The consensus of the security establishment and diplomat- ic circles is that Israel desperately wants Egypt to take respon- sibility for a Strip that is far away from Cairo’s central author- ity, packed with armed militants, and suffers from a persistent humanitarian crisis. Once Egypt opens the Rafah crossing for goods, Israel is likely to permanently shut down the Karam Abu Salem [Kerem Shalom] crossing, when the next crisis erupts, effectively turning Gaza into Egypt’s burden to bear [and deep- ening the separation with the West Bank]. The tunnels provide Gaza with items banned by the Israeli authorities at Karam Abu Salam, such as construction materials and weapons, but the bulk of Gaza’s daily needs actually come from the Israeli crossing. Should it be shut down, Egypt, through the Rafah Crossing, would be entirely in charge of supplying Gaza with virtually everything itneeds.
Held in place by Israel and Egypt, the blockade restricts imports to the region and prevents most people from leaving). Alaexis ¿question? 07:15, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

The introductory paragraph should include a statement about the population density in Gaza such as "The region has a considerably larger population density than the rest of Palestine." Calling the region "small" is a tad misleading without this clarification. 2600:1700:AC00:A390:4CA8:F6CC:54C9:372C ( talk) 01:42, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Article has become outdated, as there is minimum mention of how the ongoing Israeli invasion ravaged the strip. Needs addressing. Makeandtoss ( talk) 12:31, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
The current page says only 138 member states of the UN as well as the Holy See have recognized Palestine but as of June 12, 2024, that number is now 144 according to the Wikipedia article it links to. I cannot edit it myself so I'm making this post. Atemp624 ( talk) 11:05, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
