If your argument were valid, Israel should be building settlements in the Gaza strip, where Hamas are. With the Gaza strip and the West Bank separated as they are, and with Fatah not having control of the Gaza strip, how does Hamas's behaviour justify the annexation of the West Bank, as per the argument you are advancing?
