Gaza belonged to Egypt. Egypt does not want Gaza back, nor does Egypt want a single Palestinian to cross their border. No aid, no refugees, no restoring older borders for Palestinians to be once again inside Egypt. It seems that Gaza as a spoil of war is a spoil that nobody wants because nobody wants to deal with the people that come with the territory.
Your citation of article III doesn’t say what you think it says. Political organizers are partaking in hostilities as are anyone in the supporting political apparatus of the attackers. Those who have laid down arms are soldiers in combat who have surrendered. If Hamas wishes to lay down arms and surrender, this ends. That’s what should happen. Hamas should surrender, every one of them, and all their arms. They need to give the people of Gaza an end to this war and Hamas’ surrender is the surest way for this to happen. Perhaps it is the only way it’ll happen. That said, we all know Hamas has no intent to release any other hostage and has no intent to ever surrender. They will all die and they will take as many civilians with them as possible.
