Comment on What if the Gaza Strip declared independence?

I’m not an expert in middle eastern politics.
My uninformed take is that if the Gaza Strip was to self organize as a state, they will implicitly recognize Israel as a state as they will have to decide on borders.
Being unrecognized allows the Palestinian authority to claim all the former Palestinian land as their own.

Yeah, but I’m also saying that the government in Gaza would not be the Palestinian Authority, but something else. The recognition of Israel would be problematic given local politics, but I don’t see Palestine pushing all of Israel out.

I don’t see Palestine pushing Israel back an inch. They just launched their biggest assault in 50 years and all they achieved was killing a bunch of civilians. As far as I can tell they hold no territory outside of Gaza and it’s only been a couple of days.
