Gaza Airspace

Can anyone give some feedback on the airspace situation in Gaza.....as we all know the Israeli pulled out of Gaza some years ago and said that they would not longer be involved in Gaza.......upon leaving they intentionally destroyed the new Gaza International Airport that had been built by funds from Europe. The Israeli's did however say that they would maintain control of the airspace and it would appear that this was worded in the Oslo Accord.

I have seen the FIR boundary on an old charts which at the time was showing the entire Gaza strip and the Southern part of Isarel as falling in the Egypt (Cairo FIR).

Can anyone confirm the legal international view on this situation ie what is currently shown on the charts........I would appreciate a copy of a current chart if anyone can scan it and send....

I feel extremely sorry for the residents of Gaza as they appear to be blocked by sea and air with this legal or illigal embargo that is controlled by Israel.

Maybe we should encourage some views on this from both sides?
