    I imagine if it came down to the practicalities of it that there wouldn’t be an attempt to wouldn’t actually try to expel everyone who settled since 1967/1948/whatever cut-off date they decided, so long as whoever stayed was willing to accept that they now lived under a new jurisdiction with none of the exceptional privileges.

    I wouldn’t like to guess how many would choose to stay. I suppose we’d see how serious some were about that part of the world feeling like home by virtue of the location and it’s history rather than the fact of an Israeli government.

    Assuming that it would be Hamas who did the decolonising. It might not be. And e.g. a Marxist or a secular leadership would likely have different ideas. I imagine they’d all agree on the basics: that Israel ceases to exist and a new institution/state/government is formed. (I’m phrasing it like this because when Marxists have seized power before, elsewhere, they don’t stick with the old name or the intermediate name.)

      To be fair, the intermediate name would somehow wind up being the Democratic People’s Republic of I̵͐̈́ͬ̑̈́̍̇̈͟͢͏̨͘͞͏̪̘̥̬̥̟̹ͅs̷̷̴̿ͯ͐ͩͯͯ̓̚͡҉͝҉̢̞̜̳̘̳̟̙̠ŗ̵͐͒̓́̒ͯ̑ͤ̀҉̡̝̭̙̩͇̫̦̤̀̀̕a̵̵̽ͨ͊ͥ̋̉ͭ̋҉̧̢̫̞̹̞̹̱̠̪̀̀͘ȩ̸̸̧̨͖̤̲̹͚̰̘̙̂̿̿̿ͥ̋͗̀͘͡͠l̸̸̨̾̈̇͛̓͛͂̽̀̕͟͠͏̵̡̩̝̠̤̭̺̟̙̌̃ͥ̌̽̏ͤͥ̕͟͠҉̸̲̟͉̲̖͎̦̺͞
