Through its millennium-long existence, Gaza has often been bitterly
disputed, yet enduringly neglected. Squeezed between the Negev and
Sinai deserts on the one hand and the Mediterranean Sea on the
other, Gaza was contested by the Pharaohs, Persians, Greeks,
Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Fatimids, Mamluks, Crusaders and
Ottomans. In 1917, the British Empire fought for months to conquer
Gaza, before establishing its mandate for Palestine.In 1948,
200,000 Palestinians sought refuge in Gaza, a marginal area wanted
by neither Israel nor Egypt. Palestinian nationalism grew there,
and Gaza has since found itself at the heart of Palestinian
history.&,nbsp,?Gaza is where the fedayeen movement arose from
the ruins of Arab nationalism, where the 1967 Israeli occupation
was repeatedly challenged, culminating in the 1987 intifada, where
the dream of Palestinian statehood appeared shattered by the 2007
split between Fatah and Hamas, and from where, in 2023, history’s
worst attack on Israel was launched, leading to the worst war ever
waged against the Palestinians. Jean-Pierre Filiu’s book was the
first comprehensive history of Gaza to be published in any
language.This new, updated edition covers events since 2011,
including Gaza’s renewed tragic centrality to world politics and
security since October 2023.
