I guess not strictly news - but with all of the vitriol I have seen in discussions on the Israel situation, that have boiled down to arguments over wording, I feel that this take from the BBC is worthy of some discussion.

Mods, feel free to remove if this is not newsy enough.

it lost control to Hamas;

Hamas exercises de facto control.

Yes.

Hamas is in control of Gaza "officially".

Fatah is in control of the rest of Palestine. And they currently go by State of Palestine

So when you said:

Hamas has been the government in Palestinian since 2006.

You were wrong. They are just "in control" of Gaza despite performing zero government functions.

I think you just don't understand the difference between Gaza and Palestine, but it's hard to tell since you only copy/paste.

I'm bending over backwards here trying to help you understand something, but if You're not putting any effort in, I'm not helping anymore.
