Yes. The Palestinian Militant group Hamas is currently in control of the Gaza Strip and the only people who live there are Palestinians.
Roughly 1,400 Arab Christians live in Gaza today, down from 3,000 ten years ago. The number is decreasing due to the militancy and violence of Hamas and other Islamist thugs that oppress and repress the Christian population.
Zero. Israel pulled out of Gaza unilaterally about 8 years ago, and removed all settlements. If any would try to live there under Hammas rule, they would likely be shot.
