While reading on the history of Beersheba and Gaza, I found that Gaza was more culturally and economically tied to Egypt in the 19th Century and that there was a well-trafficked trade corridor running from Gaza to Beersheba to Ma'an.
My question is, what if Egypt secured control over southern Palestine (Gaza and Beersheba), Ma'an, and by extension the Hijaz?
