Gaza

Gaza (arabsko قطاع غزة Qiṭāʿ Ġazzah [qɪˈtˤɑːʕ ˈɣazza]) je manjše palestinsko ozemlje pod lastno upravo[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] na vzhodni obali Sredozemskega morja, ki meji na Egipt na jugozahodu in Izrael na vzhodu in severu. Gaza skupaj z Zahodnim bregom tvori Palestinska ozemlja, del načrtovane prihodnje države Palestine. Gazo in Zahodni breg deli izraelsko ozemlje. Obe sta pod upravo Palestinskega avtonomnega sveta,[11] toda od junija 2006 je Gaza pod upravo Hamasa, palestinske islamske organizacije,[12] ki je prevzela oblast po zmagi na volitvah leta 2006. Takrat sta Izrael in ZDA proti Gazi uvedla mednarodni ekonomski in politični bojkot.[13]

  1. Palestino priznava 137 članic Združenih narodov.
  2. od leta 1951.
  3. od leta 1986 Izrael, nato old Israeli shekel (1980–1985) in Israeli lira (1967–1980).

Ozemlje Gaze je dolgo 41 km in široko 6 do 12 km, s skupno površino 365 km².[14][15] S številom prebivalcev 1,85 milijona Palestincev,[3] sodi med šest najgosteje poseljenih območij na svetu.[16][17] Zaradi velikega izraelskega tamponskega območja je precejšen del Gaze nedostopen za prebivalce.[18] Z naravnim prirastom prebivalstva 2,91 % (ocena leta 2014) je trinajsta na svetu in pogosto označena za prenaseljeno.[15][19] Do leta 2020 naj bo po ocenah prebivalstvo naraslo na 2,1 milijona, kar bi še poslabšalo razmere za prebivalstvo.[20] Zaradi izraelsko-egiptovske blokade prebivalci ne smejo prosto zapustiti Gaze ali vstopiti vanjo, prepovedana sta tudi izvoz in uvoz izdelkov. Večina prebivalstva Gaze predstavljajo Suniti.

Kljub izraelskemu umiku iz Gaze leta 2005[21] Združeni narodi, mednarodne organizacije za človekove pravice ter večina državnikov in pravnikov označuje, da je Gaza še vedno pod izraelsko okupacijo, ki jo podpira tudi Egipt z omejitvami prebivalcev. Izrael tako ohranja neposreden nadzor nad Gazo od zunaj in posredni nadzor nad življenjem v Gazi: nadzira zračni in pomorski prostor Gaze ter šest od sedmih mejnih prehodov Gaze na kopnem. Hkrati si jemlje pravico, da vstopi v Gazo z vojsko in ohranja tamponska območja znotraj ozemlja Gaze, ki je od Izraela odvisna na področnih oskrbe z vodo, elektriko, telekomunikacij in ostalih komunalnih storitev.[21]

Po zmagi Hamasa na volitvah leta 2006 se je Fatah odrekel sodelovanju v koaliciji, dokler ni Saudova Arabija izpogajala vlado narodne enotnosti. Ko je ta pod skupnim pritiskom Izraela in ZDA junija 2007 razpadla, je palestinski svet prevzel upravo Zahodnega brega, Hamas pa upravljanje Gaze.[22] Izrael in Višegrajska skupina sta na to odgovorila z dodatnimi gospodarskimi sankcijami proti Hamasu. V Gazi je med Hamasom in Fatahom izbruhnil kratek spopad za nadzor nad ozemljem, pri čemer so sodelovale ZDA, toda Hamas je ostal na oblasti ter izgnal člane Fataha in PA iz uprave[23][24] ter ostaja na čelu Gaze.[22]

    para 40: "The study stressed that Gaza’s population would increase from 1.6 million in 2011 to 2.1 million in 2020, and concluded that for Gaza to be a liveable place in 2020 “herculean efforts” needed to be accelerated in such sectors as health, education, energy, water and sanitation (United Nations, 2012). However, instead of such efforts, the tragedy in Gaza has deteriorated and its de-development was accelerated by destruction in 2014." para 43: "The social, health and security-related ramifications of the high population density and overcrowding are among the factors that may render Gaza unliveable by 2020, if present trends continue"

  23. ↑ David Rose, 'The Gaza Bombshell,' Vanity Fair April,2008.'The plan was for forces led by Dahlan, and armed with new weapons supplied at America’s behest, to give Fatah the muscle it needed to remove the democratically elected Hamas-led government from power. . But the secret plan backfired, resulting in a further setback for American foreign policy under Bush. Instead of driving its enemies out of power, the U.S.-backed Fatah fighters inadvertently provoked Hamas to seize total control of Gaza.'
  24. ↑ Sara Roy, Hamas and Civil Society in Gaza, p.45.' Dahlan, who was supported by U.S. officials, has been a bitter enemy of Hamas since his 1996 crackdown on the movement. He consistently refused to accept the Palestinian unity government brokered by the Saudi government in the Mecca Agreement "and made his opposition intolerable to Hamas when he refused to subject the security forces under his command, armed and trained by the U.S., to the legitimate Palestinian unity government as agreed between Hamas and Fatah." Alistair Crooke, a former Middle East adviser to the EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, similarly observed, "Dahlan refused to deal with (the independent interior minister appointed to the unity government), and put his troops on the streets in defiance of the interior minister. Hamas felt that they had little option but to take control of security away from forces which were in fact creating insecurity." Hence, Hamas was not attempting a coup against the government or the Fatah organization as a whole but also against Dahlan's U.S.-funded militia (and individual Fatah loyalists it blamed for the murder of Hamas members).'
