The physical land of Gaza has been returned to the Palestinians but the border, coast and airspace remain under Israeli and Egyptian (Rafah border) control. Also Gaza is just one part of occupied Palestine, don't forget about the West Bank they are both one and the same. Again hypothetical questions are being raised, if Israel is attacked she has a right to defend herself against the perpetrators but truth is Israel hasn't entirely left Gaza, still attacks it, has illegally blockaded it, has thousands of Palestinian prisoners (and thousands of Lebanese) in it's dungeons most without trial and of course continues with settlement expansion in the West Bank. Those are the main stumbling blocks.
