Well that’s mainly because of “recognition”. Few countries recognize Hamas as a valid leadership organization of Gaza. That’s the difference between an army and a terrorist group. The army belongs to a recognized country.
Elected 16 years ago… Let’s be clear, Hamas does not represent or protect the people of Gaza. Palestinians are the original hostages in Gaza, and they have two groups of kidnappers: Hamas and the Israeli government.

The people of Gaza have been pretty clear in their support for Hamas actions on and after October 7th.
Cough… Irgun… Cough…
Pissing on my leg again.
