        This would require acknowledging Israel as a state, which it is not.

        Nobody uses the term "state of Israel to refer to it. Demonstrated by the title of the posted article “Israel announces expansion…”. Not a single person raises the question if this means a person called “Israel” is planning to become so obese that they occlude the Gaza strip.

        The word “Israel” suffices and the .World moderators know perfectly well what is means. There is no ambiguity to hide behind.

            An occupation is not a state. If controlling an area and population with government would make something a state, the RSF in Sudan would be a state and Crimea would be transferred into Russia the moment it got occupied.
