Strip in the Mideast (4)
I believe the answer is:
gaza
'strip in the mideast' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for gaza that I've seen before include "Eyeless in - (Huxley)" , "The strip has borders with Israel and Egypt" , "Philistine city" , "Middle Eastern strip" , "Area adjoining Egypt" .)
