Overview
More broadly, it may refer to the various realms of Palestinians that have conducted military operations on the coasts of the historic regions of Palestine. Analysis on independent Palestinian sea operations are usually discussed within the context of final status agreements during peace negotiations with Israel. Since the declaration of the State of Palestine, most sources that mention the term refer to only the coastal regions along the Gaza Strip.
