Opinions? I would like to know what the Egyptian policy is on the Strip and also to hear from persons in the Strip on the idea of declaring an independent state. As I understand it,the Gaza Strip is not currently claimed by any nation,yet it has failed to declare itself a nation. Why not?

The Palestinians of the Gaza strip have been close to Egypt culturally and poltically for quite some time.
At one point Egypt annexed then Gaza strip, as a result of the years of Egyptian stewardship over the Gaza strip the people of Gaza have a almost Egyptian Accent.
If Egypt were to incorporate Gaza into its territory then Israel would attack undoubtedly.
The last time Egypt had Gaza they used it as a staging ground for an invasion into Israel.
The Palestinians would probably be happy to join with Egypt but Israel would probably attack or retaliate in some way because they know they would be at an dissadvantage Militarily.
The reasons Gaza has not declared itself a nation are as follows:
That would not be sustainable.
1. The Gaza strip is a semi desert semi urban washinton DC sized area. How could that be managable as a country?
2. Hamas has admitted already that it does not plan to keep The Gaza strip forever, eventually they will hand over it to Israel allighned Fatah again.
3. Despite all that the people of Gaza have been throuhg they hare still Palestinians and still wnat one day to be united with the West Bank and the rest of Palestine.

XMLTD raises the obvious objection and these are considerations that have evidently prevented the Gaza from going indie. But the logic doesn't hold up. There isn't going to be any reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas; that's just reality. The Gaza is the only piece of historical Palestine not under direct occupation and they should seize the opportunity to declare themselves the Palestinian State of Gaza. If and when the WB gets a democratic government they can always enter into a union. Same goes for the rest of Palestine.
