RE:
Is it time for Israel to re-take Gaza?
※→ Humanity, et al,
These are disputes that need to evolve the law.
(COMMENT)
International Law in the 20th Century:
• Article 42 Harue Regulation of 1907:
Territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army.
The occupation extends only to the territory where such authority has been established and can be exercised.
In terms of the Gaza Strip, questions:
• What Territory of the Gaza Strip is considered under the authority of the Israeli Defense Force?
• What Territory of Gaza is considered under the authority of the Arab Palestinians?
(COMMENT)
The "border" and a "Line of Control" (LoC) are considered as one and the same for the purposes of this discussion.
Without regard to the whatever, you might personally think, most borders of the world are just like the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip. Each sovereignty controls what can enter
(and it need be, what exit).
Are you suggesting that Israel, or any of the Arab States within the Arab League, is prohibited from controlling the entry/exit of its borders?
No one is saying that Gazans cannot control borders... BUT, Israel, like all the 22 countries of the Arab League, have the right to control its territorial integrity.
Most Respectfully,
