So your argument is that from 2005-2007, there was a window where Gaza was maybe not technically occupied?


From 2005-2023, the whole period where there were essentially zero Jews or Israelis in Gaza. Of course parts became occupied in response to Oct 7.


No, Gaza was considered definitively occupied again starting in 2007, after Israel instituted air and sea border control, and control of its 2 land borders with influence on its Egypt border as well


Considered by who? Earlier you claimed by the ICJ, but as I pointed out, their opinion did not in fact say that.


UN reports have consistently referred to Gaza is occupied; your point about the ambiguity of the ICJ's 2004 ruling is noted, but it looks like UN's policy was to provisionally consider that a claim that Gaza is still occupied, while in 2022 or early 2023, requesting the ICJ put out a clarifying advisory opinion.
