Oh great, yet another work of fiction masquerading as fact. As if Wikipedia didn't have enough of them already. 6SJ7 02:45, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I have changed the name of the article to "Governance of the Gaza Strip" and removed all references to "Gaza Strip Government". I hope this addresses some of the concerns mentioned in this discussion.
