There is almost no group in Israel or outside of Israel that thinks that Israel has any claim to the Gaza Strip. Historically, the Gaza Strip was part of the Philistine Kingdom, the ancient antagonists of the Israelite People and therefore has no areas of significance for Jews. There are some Greater Israel-ists (those who believe in expansionary borders of the State of Israel) who may tangentially claim the Gaza Strip, but most of the attention of those advocating for Greater Israel is turned toward the West Bank which does have a number of important Jewish religious sites since that area was under primarily Israelite control.

A historically false claim, it is not necessarily Iran, but their leaders who deny the Holocaust. They do this a part of a series of other absurd claims in order to justify destroying Israel.
