I don’t know many open air prisons that have a defacto government that can declare war and has a military in the tens of thousands.

You mean the terrorist group that Israel funded for the express purpose of delegitimizing the Palestinian Authority to help prevent a Palestinian state from being formed?

"The idea was to prevent Abbas - or anyone else in the Palestinian Authority's West Bank government - from advancing toward the establishment of a Palestinian state," writes journalist Tal Schneider in The Times of Israel.

"Thus, amid this bid to impair Abbas, Hamas was upgraded from a mere terror group to an organisation with which Israel held indirect negotiations via Egypt, and one that was allowed to receive infusions of cash from abroad," writes Schneider.

Yeah, weird that this group is in charge of the open air prison....
