The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article is related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this article:

You may not make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any edits related to this topic
All participants in formal discussions (RfCs, RMs, etc) within the area of conflict are urged to keep their comments concise, and are limited to 1,000 words per discussion.

With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:

Clear vandalism of whatever origin may be reverted without restriction. Also, reverts made solely to enforce the extended confirmed restriction are not considered edit warring.
Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offence.

After being warned, contentious topics procedure can be used against any editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process.

Citation in second paragraph (ECP edit request)

This could really use a citation:

The motivation behind the disengagement was described by Sharon's top aide as a means of isolating Gaza and avoiding international pressure on Israel to reach a political settlement with the Palestinians.

Here's an article that would work: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/oct/07/israel

Per that article, I'd suggest editing the text as follows:

The motivation behind the disengagement was described by Sharon's top aide as a means of isolating Gaza and avoiding international pressure on Israel to reach a political settlement with the Palestinians, foreclosing the possibility of a Palestinian state.

Warnings about the consequesnes of the Disengagement

https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/319985/jewish/Gaza-

citation for first paragraph

"Gaza Strip is still considered to be occupied under international law."

There's a citation needed flag on that sentence, although it contains a link to the page on "ICJ case on Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories." An article that deals straight-forwardly with that issue is: Lisa Hajjar (14 July 2017) Is Gaza Still Occupied and Why Does It Matter?, Jadaliyya. Available at: https://www.jadaliyya.com/Details/27557/Is-Gaza-Still-Occupied-and-Why-Does-It-Matter (Accessed: 7 February 2025).

Samaria?

So if we get enough people to start calling Israel “shithole,” are you guys going to put (shithole) in parentheses next to Israel? Samaria is not another name for the West Bank. It is only referred to as that term by less than 1% of the world population. The rest call it the West Bank. This needs to be removed 38.69.58.95 (talk) 02:43, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request 1 April 2025the first paragraph is too much about legal issues

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Israeli disengagement from the Gaza Strip. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Description of suggested change: more than half of the first paragraph is about legal issues, and should not be so. This article is about the disengagement, not the legal situation post-disengagement. The first paragraph should state what the disengagement was, what led to it, how it was implemented and how it affected the Palestinians in Gaza and the settlers who where forced out of it. The legal status of Gaza post-disengagement is less important for this article in my on POV and should be in the second paragraph.
