Israel never once gave up control of Gaza. Never. The only group that has ever claimed that is Israel themselves. All unbiased sources cite uninterrupted control of Gaza by Israel (including the UN, and the European Union, whom side with Israel).
As for the bolded part, what kind of point are you trying to make exactly? That Hamas is dangerous? You really need to make that excruciatingly obvious point? Did the fact that they are a terrorist group not make it obvious enough?

I think you forgot to mention that while Israel certainly did leave Gaza, the Palestinians certainly were not exactly a peaceful entity. This was a token of good measure yet Israel was certainly cautious about it. Keeping some security measures was vital, and proved reasonable considering Hamas started killing Palestinians and took over.
And do you honestly think the UN is on Israel's side?
