somehow when israel stops employing palestinians it also criticized as leading to collapse of palestinian authority/people going hungry/etc. also i didn't see any attempts by jordan or egypt to employ palestinians.

there was lovely border crossing with egypt. this is till hamas started to export terror to sinai and egypt build a wall on border with gaza. and another wall in last year. open air prison narrative is boring. 100k palestinians left gaza after oct 2023. prior to oct 7th there were videos talking about gaza as vacation destination.

there is significant hamas presence in west bank. in fact there are cities that PA can't go to. About half year-year ago PA tried to remove Hamas from Jenin but got it ass kicked and had to ask Israel to clean it from Hamas. In fact, PA still in "control" of areas A/B because Israel works on suppressing hamas and pij in west bank. Latest may polls show that hamas support in west bank is higher than for any other party (which is one of the reasons that PA doesn't hold elections in past 20 years).
