A:

Even those who believe in the historicity of the stories of Abraham and his descendants, who were the biblical ancestors of the twelve tribes of Israel, acknowledge that Egypt existed long before the time of Abraham. The ancient Egyptians were not even a Semitic people, so there was no close ethnic relationship between the Egyptians and the Israelites.

The Gaza Strip is an anomaly. It was part of Egypt, but when Egypt and Israel signed a peace treaty, Egypt refused to take back the Gaza Strip. Under international law, it was considered part of Israel, but Israel does not believe in occupying other areas, so they declined to take over the Gaza Strip.
