You realize Hamas was voted in, right?
1. Elected government? Check.
2. Borders? Check.

The answer is no to all 3.
Question: if I want to fly into Gaza, whose permission do I need? Hamas' permission is clearly insufficient: the IDF will shoot down any plane landing there. So they're not at all an independent state.
Do you know why the US did that to Cuba? They were smuggling missiles in. See a pattern there?
The whole point of a state is that it has some effective control.
