    OK, Why would the US care about stealing a strip of land near Israel?

    Because they see Gaza as a national security threat to traffic through the Suez Canal.

      Thats richly absurd. Beyond the multilayered fortified defenses Egypt provides over 150 years, theres the empty sinai to cross, 200 miles distance, and a border to cross.

        Tell it to the Houthis in Yemen who managed to land a long range drone attack into Tel Aviv as recently as May.

          Smart idea, I’ll just call them to congratulate them for their 45 mile drone range. And comparing Tel Aviv’s defenses to the Suez canal’s well defended mud banks is so dumb on your part. You should stick with the racism and murder cheerleading and not try to be smart about anything else.
