After the evacuation of the settlements in Gush Katif and their transfer to the Palestinian Authority, the Hamas terror organization took control of the Gaza Strip and increased rocket launches toward Israel.

Many say that the Second Lebanon War occurred as a result of the plan that led to reduced fear of Israel among neighboring Arab countries and among Gaza Strip settlers.

Over the years following the Disengagement, some supporters of the plan reversed their support, claiming it did not improve state security and even harmed it. Other supporters did not reverse their support of the move itself but criticized how it was carried out, particularly the evacuation of Gush Katif residents or their treatment afterward. Among those who reversed or expressed reservations were politicians who were prominent supporters of the plan such as Shimon Peres, Uzi Dayan, Yitzchak Herzog, and Gershon Hacohen - the division commander who commanded the operation's soldiers. Additionally, about 80% of Israel's residents claimed the Disengagement was a terrible mistake that greatly harmed Israel's security.
