...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. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz "agrees that such a one-sided stance cannot be allowed to stand," she says.
"In any debate on this topic, it is of course important to keep in mind the event that triggered this renewed escalation of the Middle East conflict — namely the Hamas attack on 7 October," she says.
The culture minister and the Berlin mayor will review what happened and hold talks with the festival’s incoming director to ensure it does not happen in future, she said.
But Culture Minister Claudia Roth and mayor Kai Wegner have also found themselves in hot water over the ceremony.
A report in top tabloid Bild carried a picture it said showed the pair applauding Adra’s remarks.
