Does Hamas issue driver's licenses? Would a Hamas driver's license be accepted in the State of Israel for driving privileges? Certain Hamas citizens do go to Israel for work or for hospital care and so it's possible they would be driving.
Hamas was once a political party, but after their one election many years ago they are the De Facto regime in a Single Party authoritarian "state" (or area) in the context of their disallowance of other challenging political parties, like the North Korea regime (the Peoples Democratic Republic of Korea, DPRK), so what does Hamas call their land of Gaza? Do they call it Palestine, like the Taiwan government refers to themselves as the Republic of China? In other words, Taiwan (aka Formosa) believes it is the sole legitimate power of all of Mainland China so they call themselves Republic of China whereas Mainland China calls itself Peoples Republic of China, and Hamas believes it is the sole legitimate power of all of Gaza, the State of Israel and the West Bank (and eventually the entire Levant, and eventually-eventually-eventually then the rest of the world) so do they simply refer to Gaza as part of Palestine?
I have heard there is a wealthy neighborhood in Gaza with wealthy people and beautiful houses, near some particular beach. Do they not allow Hamas rockets to be fired from their area? I don't know what that neighborhood is called. Does anybody?
I understand alcohol is forbidden in Gaza, according to this: Gaza travel guide - Wikitravel Is that strictly enforced or if you look a bit can you find a convenience store with alcohol and dirty magazines?
Are there a few big and beautiful, luxurious hotels in Gaza? What are they?
How much is gasoline in Gaza?
Cell phone service I understand is provided by something like the Palestinian version of Pelephone in Israel, maybe the Palestinian version is called "Palephone??" instead of Israel's Pelephone. But the infrastructure is actually provided by the Israeli companies under agreements with the Gazans. Does Hamas (or the 'Palaphone' company) actually transfer money to Israel companies for this? I understand for water and power they are supposed to transfer money (75% of electricity comes from Israel, 25% from Egypt) but Hamas/Gaza/Palestinians don't actually pay money for this (although they are technically supposed to) and Israel doesn't normally cut off power and water unless there is a war (or maybe they never cut off water but sometimes cut power or bomb the Gaza-located power sub-station connected to the Zikim, Israel power generation facility)?
Regardless of what Hamas or Palestinians in Gaza or Gaza-located companies pay the Israelis for the services they are reselling (let's assume for purposes of discussion they pay less than the total due), do the Gaza located companies still charge their end user Palestinian individuals for cell service, electricity and water? Is there a meter guy who comes around to check power and water usage every 1 or 2 months? How do they pay their cell phone bills? Is everyone on pre-paid or is it post paid too?
