Gaza has a troubled modern history, with conflicts and tensions between Israel and Palestine. The recent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has brought temporary relief, but President Donald Trump's suggestion of permanently resettling displaced Palestinians outside of Gaza may spark new tension. The Gaza Strip was originally part of British colonial rule before becoming a refuge for Palestinian refugees. Israel seized control of Gaza in the 1967 Mideast war and built Jewish settlements there. The area has seen uprisings, peace talks, and the violent takeover of Gaza by Hamas. The recent war has resulted in significant casualties and displacement, with negotiations for the next phase of the ceasefire set to begin.
