GAZA IS STILL THE LARGEST CITY OF PALESTINE. BEFORE HAMAS-ISRAEL WAR IT IS STILL THE LARGEST CITY OF PALESTINE. 38.253.8.42 (talk) 03:40, 24 February 2024 (UTC)


 * The thing is right now Rafah is inundated by refugees and so has more people in it, so Gaza City isn't really currently most populous. I've reworded now by saying most populous instead of largest, since it's physical size hasn't changed. Em3rgent0rdr (talk) 08:06, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Image of destruction should be moved and a general image of the city should be used per Recentism 172.99.147.181 (talk) 00:49, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Ancient Egyptian Name
The article currently states: According to Shahin, the Ancient Egyptians called it gḏt, "Ghazzat" ("prized city")... (originally added in this edit in 2009.)

As far as I understand, Mariam Shahin is not an academic researcher (she is a filmmaker and a journalist, without a Wikipedia article about her); neither ancient Egypt or etymology are her areas of expertise, and the book "Palestine: A Guide" is not an academic research. I don't think this is a reliable source on the subject. 2A0D:6FC2:6C71:6C00:749F:EA20:5036:E5E7 (talk) 20:19, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Twinned with Tel Aviv
I have been unable to verify citation 187, and in general the fact that Gaza City and Tel Aviv are sister cities. Furthermore, this was added to the article during the 2008-2009 Palestine-Israel conflict. The only thing that makes me trust that it was added in good faith is that it was added by a well-respected editor of Palestinian ancestry (Al Ameer son).

 * Not sure what "unable to verify" means, do you have a source that contradicts the Haaretz source? Or some actual evidence that the Haaretz source is in error. Selfstudier (talk) 09:07, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
