'It is hardly peaceful for any member of the Israeli Govt to be calling for Gaza to be nuked either'.

Agreed it's a stupid statement to make.

But in a country where free speech is a right, this person has a right to make one in the knowledge that what he calls for would never be sanctioned by Israel's government and hence never carried out.

Hamas in its Charter however calls for the annihilation of Israel and the Jews and has as I am sure you would admit, already taken steps to make this happen.

Control/governance/'ownership' of the West Bank is complicated.

Wikipedia states - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bank

'Since the 1993 Oslo Accords, the Palestinian Authority officially controls a geographically non-contiguous territory comprising approximately 11% of the West Bank, known as Area A, which remains subject to Israeli incursions. Area B, approximately 28%, is subject to joint Israeli-Palestinian military and Palestinian civil control. Area C, approximately 61%, is under full Israeli control. Though 164 nations refer to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as "Occupied Palestinian Territory", the state of Israel quotes the UN that only territories captured in war from "an established and recognized sovereign" are considered occupied territories.
After the 2007 split between Fatah and Hamas, the West Bank areas under Palestinian control are an exclusive part of the Palestinian Authority'.

I have no evidence to support me but I believe Israel would be quite happy to relinquish all control of the West Bank to the Palestinians as it did with Gaza before Hamas abused that control.

Happy that is if it felt that the West Bank, like Gaza, was not a threat to its and its peoples' existence.

This is unlikely to happen with the Palestinian cause being in the hands of aggressive and belligerent Arabs.
