The Gaza Strip seems very poorly served by the Palestinian Authority, let alone Israel. But, the area has relatively stable borders and it would likely have a stable government in Hamas. So, what if Gaza just declared independence as the government with sole control over the Gaza Strip?

Would Gaza get recognized by other countries? Could it parlay the recognition into forcing a permanent peace with Israel as becoming a recognized country puts Israeli treatment of it into more known sections of international law?

    A “Gaza country” would lie between Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Grenada the list list of countries by size (place 185). and between Lithuania, and Qatar in the list of countries by population size (Place 140). With no agriculture to speak of. How could such a county exist?

      A lot of other countries in the Middle East are net importers of food. Also, it isn’t like they would be making their food situation worse.
