Israel and neighboring countries have been disputing over who owns the Gaza Strip. Gaza's land area is only 360 km2 (139 mi2) which makes it smaller than every US state, smaller than Jan Meyen (a spoon-shaped Norwegian island), but a bit bigger than the US Virgin Islands.

What 25-mile territory has been a source of dispute between Israel and its neighbors for many years?

The GAZA STRIP is a 25-mile territory that is the site of much violence between Israel and its Palestinian inhabitants, but it is not really "a source of dispute", since Israeli authorities do not actually want power over the land. The reason for the fighting is that Gaza is controlled by a militant organization, Hamas, which has an intractable vendetta against Israel and so, Israel is constantly engaged in damage control to protect its civilians from Hamas-led attacks both present and planned.

How does the Golan Heights dispute relate to Spain?

The Golan Heights dispute has nothing at all to do with Spain. The Golan Heights is officially Syrian territory that Syrians held until 1967 when they lost it to Israel in the Six-Day War. Syria has been campaigning ever since to get the Golan Heights back from Israel. Israel, however, has (by its own laws) annexed the territory and shows little if any intent on returning it to Syria.

How did Palestine become Israel in 1956?

It didn't. The Mandate of Palestine (which was a British quasi-colonial territory) became partially independent as Israel and was partially occupied by neighbors Jordan and Egypt. In 1956, this status quo remained. Only in 1967 did Israel conquer the remaining parts of former Mandatory Palestine from the Jordanians and the Egyptians.
