On June 2007, in a spectacle in front of the world stage, Hamas militants, took over the Gaza portion of Palestine and posed for pictures in front of a picture of the late Yassir Arafat as the new rulers of the coastal territory. Since that time, they have managed Gaza as if its own fiefdom, with a separate executive, legislative, judician, border controls, and security personnel from the rest of the Palestinian Authority. The purpose of this book is to analyze whether Gaza could be forseen as independent under Present International Law as is unfolding under present events. Studying Gaza through the lens of Palestinian History, The Law of Occupation, and through Hamas's de facto actions, it will be demonstrated that a case can be made for a separate Gazan state from the rest of the Palestinian Territories and Israel.
