A more relevant comparison would be if Russia held the Ukrainian territory they currently occupy, moved in a bunch of ethnic Russians into settlements there, and then enacted laws that favor Russians, making it almost impossible for Ukrainians to legally build anything or even really have a functioning economy.

What West Bank had to do with Gaza? HAMAS hates West Bank to the point that they actually expelled all authorities from Palestine Liberation Organization from Gaza into West Bank and never held elections ever since, so West Bank factions could never get power in Gaza.
