Cool, but what kind of de facto sovereignity does it have? Does it have a sea port? An international airport? Transport corridor beween two its parts?

Those would probably have existed by now, without the terror.

As I've read about it:

People were commuting from both the West Bank and Gaza into Israel to work, before the terrorism got too bad.

People in Israel used to go with their cars to have them fixed in Gaza. And so on.

After the Intifadas stopped all that, Israel had a depression. And had to start to get more work force from somewhere where they weren't taught with their mothers milk to hate Jews.

A bad loss for everyone. (And insane from the outside viewpoint, where these cultures look quite similar.)
