Israel has never given up control of Gaza, they simply removed their settlements, just so you're aware.

Israel pulled out of Gaza in late 2005. In January 2006, Hamas won a landslide victory in the elections. One of their platforms was on the destruction of Israel. In what world should Israel have stopped reinforcing controls of shipments into Gaza with a result like that?
