Look, there is no great solution here and I hate settlements and do not support that part of the government. But I do support their right to exist and allowing free reign of Hamas in the region is counter to that. I do not think people in Gaza support a 2-state solution either, so I'm not sure what else there is to do there. Nobody seems to want to get involved other than say which side they stand with, leaving few solutions. If Hamas were disband and Israel were to rebuild Gaza and allow it to be autonomous, would that be enough for folks? Probably not. What responsibilities do Egypt and Jordan carry?

Eh, the phrasing made it sound like
a) most Jews lived there (and had for ages)
b) Jews were the area's primary occupants
Yes, they
had been fleeing there and yes there was a declaration, but (and I'll credit you as not meaning it that way) the line read like "Hey, what's the problem? These guys were obviously here already."
