Report: Under US pressure, Israel okays UN visit to northern Gaza, places conditions

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

#3   They don't actually need to visit to draw their conclusions.

"We prefer to think of it as working within a pre-defined framework. That way, we don't sound like useless wankers. Also, by visiting on-site, we get per diem + expenses."
