...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.

"If we commit to ending the war, we will not be able to resume fighting in Gaza," he said.
"So I ask you -- did our soldiers fight in vain? Did our heroes fall and suffer for nothing?"
