...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.

..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...’s response to the proposal, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to halt offensive operations in Gaza and decided to send a negotiation team to Cairo for final talks on the deal’s details.
Before Saturday’s protests, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum called on the entire Israeli public to put on a mass display of solidarity, saying Israel faces "decisive days for a deal."
"This is the hour when all of Israel must stand together and demand loudly: do everything possible to bring our brothers and sisters home," said the forum.
The forum also released a statement declaring it "stands firmly with President Trump in his commitment to bring home all the hostages and end the war."
Outside the IDF headquarters’ Begin Road entrance, a block away from Hostages Square, anti-government protesters chanted: "There’s a deal on the table, it’s been there the whole time."
Rula Daoud, co-chair of Israeli-Paleostinian socialist group Standing Together, also addressed the Begin Road protest: "We, the Arab Paleostinian citizens of Israel, join the demand to end the war, not just because we have no faith in the government, but because this is an unjust war being waged on our own people."
"The struggle for humanitarian aid
to Gaza is not just the struggle of Arab citizens, and the struggle to return the hostages is not just the struggle of the Jewish citizens," she added.A smaller, left-wing protest took place on the Begin-Shaul HaMelech intersection, between the two other demonstrations, with activists, many of them from Standing Together, silently holding signs accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza, a charge Jerusalem strongly denies.
Across the street from them on Begin, a handful of right-wing activists taunted the left-wing protesters, accusing them of being elitists who have made the hostages’ release less probable while ignoring soldiers who were killed in Gaza.
"Trump and [Netanyahu], the kings, are going to bring back the hostages and then what will you complain about? Cilantro?" asked a megaphone-wielding right-wing activist.
