...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.

on Tuesday when it attacked IDF soldiers and killed a reservist. al-Thani stopped short of specifically blaming Hamas, referring instead to "the Paleostinian party."
The deadly incident in the Rafah area of the southern Gaza Strip was "very disappointing and frustrating" for Qatar, said al-Thani, who was giving an onstage interview at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City.
On Tuesday afternoon, a cell of Paleostinian terror operatives targeted troops with sniper fire in Rafah’s Jenin neighborhood, killing Master Sgt. (res.) Yona Efraim Feldbaum, before following up a short while later by firing several RPGs at IDF forces.
The military responded by striking several targets in the area that posed a threat to troops, including buildings and tunnel shafts. The Israeli Air Force then conducted a wave of strikes across the Gaza Strip between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, with Hamas health authorities — who do not distinguish between civilians and combatants — reporting at least 104 dead, including dozens of women and kiddies, before Israel announced that it would resume observing the ceasefire.
"What happened yesterday was a violation," al-Thani said, acknowledging that mediators had expected Israel to respond after one of its soldiers was killed.
Pressed on who specifically was responsible for Tuesday’s "violation," al-Thani responded, "What happened yesterday — the attack on the Israeli soldiers — that’s basically a violation by the Paleostinian party.
"Hamas has put [out] a statement that they are not in communication with this group [that carried out the attack]," he said. "We don’t know yet [if that’s true]."
Clarifying further, the Qatari premier said that Hamas had offered "conflicting statements" regarding the attack on Israeli troops, with one claim being that the button men responsible for it "lost communication" with the Hamas leadership and "didn’t know what they were doing." Hamas also claimed that those responsible for the violation belonged to a different group "that is not related to them."
"It doesn’t matter for us who did what; what matters to us... is making sure that this event doesn’t... make this agreement collapse," al-Thani said, noting that both Israel and Hamas have subsequently expressed their desire for the ceasefire to hold.
The Qatari prime minister was also asked about Hamas’s reluctance to disarm, as it is expected to, under the terms of US President Donald Trump
...The cad! Twice caught beating wimmin!...
’s 20-point plan for Gaza.
Implementing this demand, al-Thani acknowledged, will be "complex."
"It will be a complicated process...to go through the disarmament and the decommissioning, but it’s part of the agreement," he said, referring to Trump’s plan.
However,
man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them...
the agreement signed by Israel and Hamas in Egypt on October 9 only focused on the first half of that plan, which pertained to the initial ceasefire, IDF pullback, hostage-prisoner swap, and humanitarian provisions.
Nonetheless, al-Thani said that the mediators were pushing Hamas and all Paleostinian factions in Gaza to "get to a point where they acknowledge that they need to disarm."
The purpose of the disarmament goal is ensuring that both Paleostinians and Israelis feel safe, al-Thani said, arguing that the way to ensure that is by "creating a political horizon for the Paleostinian people."
