...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 a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Speaking Saturday to some 2,000 people at Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square, freed hostage Doron Steinbrecher urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war, secure a hostage deal and "make Israel great again."
"Six months ago, I saw the sun for the first time after 471 days in the tunnels," Steinbrecher, who was released from Hamas captivity as part of a truce-hostage deal in January, said at the weekly rally. "Six months ago, I drew my first breath that wasn’t all fear."
The demonstration began earlier in the evening with a moment of silence for the 893 IDF soldiers killed during and since the Hamas onslaught of October 7, 2023.
The silence was pierced by a quarrel that ignited on the square’s southern edge, where left-wing protesters typically gather ahead of Saturday-night demonstrations with signs decrying "war crimes" and "genocide" in Gaza. A man bearing an Israeli flag emblazoned with an anti-government logo yelled at the left-wing activists that they should be "embarrassed" and appeared to almost come to blows with one of them before others separated them.
After the moment of silence ended, the rally’s MC, an attorney who heads the anti-government group Mothers on the Front, launched into a tirade against Haredi exemptions from mandatory military service.
During her speech, the left-wing activists left to attend a silent vigil on Kaplan Street for Paleostinian children killed in Gaza.
Protesters then joined with hostage families marching from three separate demonstrations. The participants in the rallies at Hostages Square, Begin Road and Habima Square marched on to a large demonstration outside the US Embassy Branch Office on Hayarkon Street.
A similar demonstration was held outside the US Consulate General building in Jerusalem.
