It's made of 4mm thick steel sheets, and the FAA disagrees with you.
It would be a "breakaway province" situation, except that:
a. Israel intentionally got all its citizens out of that place and
b. Israel had no intention of taking control and forcing Gaza to join back into Israel.
Israel mistakenly thought Hamas was transforming into a national government that is busy governing its territory.
Gaza was mostly an independent country at war with Israel and not even a little bit an autonomous province of Israel. The war could not be resolved and so it was stuck in a state where Israel thought it prevented Hamas from bringing in heavy weapons but did not want to commit to conquering a city.
I think some people thought that after Israel pulled out in 2005, and Gaza became autonomous, it would become a normal independent country, and people still treat Gaza of 2023 as if it's the Gaza of 2005.
Gaza was blockaded. Israel tried to control who and what goes in and out of Gaza (to try to limit the weapons Hamas has). But Israel had no control over what the Hamas Gaza government did in Gaza, how they spent their budget, what they built, what they taught in schools, what their military was planning.
AES+HMAC-SHA2 would be AES-CTR and you would need to handle the nonce yourself, and that's not great.
XChaCha is extended nonce, which should be safer. But there is no standard for extended nonce AES.
Filippo Valsorda wrote that he would like XAES-256-GCM/11 [1]
XChaCha looks like a good recommendation.
Because lacking key commitment can lead to problems, a scheme that also gives you key commitment is better [2]? So that's not crazy.
What does Google Tink do by default / recommend? What does Sophie Schmieg or whoever recommend?

I don't know why this particular video was submitted, the idea did not pan out.
As evidence, nobody since has tried to revive it.
