Gaza Disengagement Plan

The Gaza Disengagement Plan was executed by Israel in 2005, involving the unilateral withdrawal of Israeli military forces and settlers from the Gaza Strip. The goal was to reduce conflict and security concerns by disengaging from direct control over Gaza's territory, while Israel maintained control over its borders, airspace, and coastline. The plan aimed to improve security and reduce friction with Palestinians by removing settlements and military presence, but left Gaza's governance to the Palestinian authorities, leading to shifts in regional dynamics and ongoing debates about peace and stability in the area.
