No, they opted out of gambling their lives. Lots of Israelis like to gamble, but there are no casinos in Israel. Sharon wanted to build a complex in northern Gaza when he withdrew, but the Palestinians would have nothing to do with it. Turned down proposals to leave the industrial park operating as well. Would be a natural. Gaza is a lot closer than Monaco or Vegas for gamblers from the Arabian peninsula too. Who needs economic development.
It would seem that the Israelis didn’t flock to the Oasis, however.
