No, you own that territory and can have it.

Your crystal ball has been getting a lot of use lately. But it may be time for a new one.
The UN SC is meeting now to discuss Israel and the ICJ genocide ruling.
UN relief chief: Aid to Gaza continues to be blocked
Martin Griffiths has finished his briefing to the Security Council. Here are some final points he made:
- There are seriously injured or sick patients unable to receive cures in Gaza for whom medical evacuations should be swiftly facilitated.
- Then we know this is a matter of daily negotiations in the COGAT group which meets daily to discuss all the matters of logistics and plans of the humanitarian operation.
- These evacuations are in line with international humanitarian law, which in certain circumstances encourages arrangements for the evacuation of the wounded and sick, persons with disabilities, older children and pregnant women.
- I also want to emphasise that any persons displaced from Gaza must be given the right to voluntarily return as international law demands.
- The ability of the humanitarian community to reach the people of Gaza with relief remains grossly inadequate, and to say it is grossly inadequate is grossly inadequate. It’s much much more difficult than that.
- We continue to face the issue of the rejection for entry of much-needed items into Gaza by Israel for reasons which, at least for us, are unclear and inconsistent.
Oh, wise one, what do you predict that they'll say? Actually, you haven't got one correct yet.
I already posted what they said, you are very old, aren't you?
But here is the summary:
Ceasefire needed for ICJ ruling to be implemented: Mansour
Israel of course is doubling down on genocide and will go to trial at the ICJ.
Ben-Gvir urges Netanyahu to block aid from entering Gaza
UNRWA defunding decision consistent with Israeli government policy: Official
Yes, their message is consistent.
Stop the genocide, save the evidence and report on how you stopped in 30 days.
Probably laughing at this kind of thing.
So popular they needed police protection.
He will neither gain nor lose the entire voting bloc in either case.
We're talking margins.
But again - pretending he isn't listening to his voters when his voter base isn't unified on the matter is silly.
You may not like which voters he is listening to, but until we start seeing polls saying Pennsylvania Democrats are massively against his position, I don't think you can say that.
No.
It shows that one group is actively protesting and rallying right now.
That's the same problem as the "but Trump and Sanders had bigger rallies" - it isn't a very accurate measure of actual voter intention or support.
I'm still waiting for evidence on this.
Even if you take the accusation against these 12 as true, how does that make UNRWA a sponsor of terror?
Is there evidence that UNRWA funds are being used to plan and execute terrorism?
How does "these people are doing bad" lead to "the humanitarian institution must be shut down"?
The full case against UNWRA probably involves allegations that it supplies 100's of teachers who teach jihad as part of the curriculum; that is has close ties at all levels with Hamas; that it allows UNWRA administered structures like schools and hospitals to be used as military installations, etc.
I think Israel and the west are also going to pressure for the total abolition of UNWRA and the termination of the extended definition of "refugee" in the Palestinian context in an effort to normalize Palestinian-Israeli relations and then push for a 1-state solution with pressure on Israel to remove far right zionist elements from the cabinet. The same plan also tacitly includes the destruction of the Hamas hierarchy structures and the de-Hamasification of Gaza and the West bank and its replacement with a conciliatory governing regime subject to the Israeli state.
