the PLO has delayed the elections since 2021 so calling them democratic is bit far fetched. functioning is also debatable.
there were many gazans with work permits entering Israel , who could enter freely(through security checks as is common in all borders). also UNRWA moves people in and out of gaza, and many palastinians used to be allowed to recieve medical treatment in israel.
saying Hamas exists because of Israel is intresting, because the tyings Iseael did to support Hamas is sending money to the governing bodt of Gaza. it had no part of their creation or siezing control of the strip aside from the withdrawl of israrli foeces from Gaza.
