Don’t forget about the gas fields in front of the strip.

Nah, they don't have any oil. I don't believe anyone has ever discovered provable reserves there. Firth West and East, but there is no oil and gas next to the ocean there.
Gaza Marine Field?
It’s in Israeli economic waters, but the pipes need to go through Gaza. That’s what I thought anyway?
Gaza Marine is estimated to hold over 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, much more than is needed to power the Palestinian territories and some of which could potentially be exported.
2 things. First, provable gas I said.
2nd, the use produced 37 trillion feet of gas last year alone. That's only 2.5 % of the annual us supply total.
That's like $3 billion at today's value, total.
Not even worth the hassle of anything, nevermind displacing people for.
It’s not just about the value of th gas. Research the China’s Belt and Road Initiative and the Israeli Ben Ghurion project.
You said gas on the border. There is no real gas reserves. I don't care about anything else here. It was just a fun note about a bingo card in which nobody had the US taking over control of Gaza
