Egyptian military rule over the Gaza Strip (1949–1967) Today part of Gaza Strip The occupation of the Gaza Strip by the United Arab Republic began in 1959 following the dissolution of the All-Palestine Protectorate , which had ruled the Gaza Strip as a client state of Egypt since the 1948 Arab–Israeli War , and its merger with the United Arab Republic .The 1949 Armistice Agreements , which ended the Arab–Israeli War by delineating the Green Line as the armistice line between Israel and the Arab countries , left the Kingdom of Egypt in control of a small swath of territory that it had captured and occupied in the former British Mandate for Palestine , namely the Gaza Strip .This period saw the creation of the All-Palestine Government within the All-Palestine Protectorate , an Egyptian client state that lasted until 1959, a year after the Republic of Egypt and the Second Syrian Republic merged to form a single sovereign state known as the United Arab Republic .The Egyptian occupation of the Gaza Strip was briefly subsumed by Israel during the 1956 Suez Crisis and ended entirely during the 1967 Six-Day War , after which the territory became occupied by Israel with the establishment of the Israeli Military Governorate .Ultimately dissolved by Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1959, the All-Palestine Government was largely symbolic since it was established in 1948, but nonetheless garnered diplomatic recognition from most members of the Arab League .Since the 1979 Egypt–Israel peace treaty , the official Egyptian position has supported the creation of an independent Palestinian state that encompasses the Gaza Strip in addition to the Israeli-occupied West Bank .
