| Gaza is not occupied by Israeli military.
After Israel withdrew from Gaza and ended its physical presence in Gaza, some still consider Israel as occupying Gaza due to control of airspace, etc. Some consider, that does it make it a settled fact. THere is disagreement on this from legal point of view its not a settled legal question. Leaving the legal definition of occupation, here is the simple dictionary definition of occupation from wikipedia Military occupation, also known as belligerent occupation or simply occupation, is the temporary military control by a ruling power over a territory that is outside of that power's sovereign territory.[1][2][3][4] Israel did not have military control over Gaza, it is absurd to allege simultaneously that Israel had military control over Gaza and also allowed Hamas to build 500 miles of tunnels and attack itself on October 7th from the territory it militarily controled. So no, by any sane definition of occupation, such as Wikipedia, Israel was not occupying Gaza before October 8th These greenhouses you are referring to were run by Israeli settlers in Gaza. They were dismantled when the settlements were dismantled. Not by Israel, by Palestinians themselves

By your logic we can't anticipate or logically analyze anything at all, it would all be speculation The point of Israeli withdrawal was that if the occupation ends, maybe there is more chance for peace, that was the point of it and the opposite happened. |
The disagreement is Israel says there is no occupation while the rest of the world says there is. This is hardly a disagreement as much that one party is simply wrong. It is like Iran stating it does not have a nuclear weapons program or Russia claiming their elections are fair.
