The Gaza Strip is currently ruled by Hamas which is dead-set on opposing the Israeli Right to Exist. It has constantly bombarded Israeli cities close to it and recently expanded its firing range to the Israeli financial capital of Tel Aviv. The Israelis have surrounded Gaza with a blockade and armed border to prevent the influx of the very missiles used to perpetrate these attacks. This has caused a humanitarian problem in Gaza, resulting in increased fury to attack the Israelis. This vicious cycle self-perpetuates.
What else can I help you with?
Two regions palestine have control of in israel?
West Bank and Gaza Strip. FYI Israel is in Palestine occupying not the other way around.
Who promised the Gaza strip to israel?
Nobody did that, and the Gaza Strip is not part of Israel.
Who has more land Palestine or Israel?
It depends on your terms. If you are referring to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip cumulatively as Palestine and the 1949 borders of the State of Israel as Israel, then Israel is 3x larger than Palestine. If you are referring to the British Mandate of Palestine, then the State of Israel according to 1949 borders is smaller than Palestine. If you are comparing the current areas under Israeli control to the area of Mandatory Palestine, they are roughly equal. (The gain in the Golan Heights is more-or-less offset by the loss of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank Zone A regions.)
What does Zionism have to do with the current state of affairs in the Gaza strip?
In a very distant way, Zionism is responsible for the existence of Israel. Without Israel, there would be a unitary Arab State in Palestine and therefore no blockade problem in Gaza. However, Zionism has no direct connection to the blockade of the Gaza Strip.
Is Gaza a country?
No, Gaza is a Mediterranean city in west Palestine. The Gaza Strip is a separated state. This strip includes the city of Gaza as a capital of that state and other main cities like Rafah in the south of Gaza "on the Palestine-Egypt border".

What religions were involved in the Gaza war?
The usual in Israel; Judaism trying to survive, and Islam complaining when Israel doesn't feed the Gaza Strip (they were firing rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip).
Why can't the two countries just share the Gaza Strip?
Ironically, the Gaza Strip is the only territory in the entirety of the former Mandate of Palestine (Israel and the Palestinian Territories) that is not actually contested between the Israeli and Palestinian governments. Israel ceded significant control of the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian Authority in 1993 and subsequently gave it full control in 2005.The reason that there have been numerous wars in the Gaza Strip is because the Hamas government that currently rules over the Gaza Strip has a policy that peace with Israel is impossible and continues to lash out against Israel. If the Gaza Strip was more willing to behave peacefully with its neighbors (both Egypt and Israel), there would be fewer conflicts in the Gaza Strip. (Even Palestinians are getting tired of Hamas as can be seen in the parody of the "Thank You Hamas" videos.)
Is Tel Aviv in the Gaza strip or the west bank?
The City of Tel Aviv is in neither the Gaza Strip nor the West Bank, the city is in Israel proper. Tel Aviv is usually recognized as the capital of Israel, Gaza City as the capital of the Gaza Strip, and Ramallah as the capital of the West Bank. Note that both Israel and Palestine claim Jerusalem as their capital, yet as no embassies exist there, the international community does not generally recognize it as a capital city for either side.
When did Palestine become a colony under Israel?
