Hamas is the ruling party/government of Gaza.
De facto, not de jure. Hamas is not a signee of genocide convention, so ICJ has no jurisdiction over them.
extremely pedantic take. there is no actual leadership (as we know it in the rest of the world) in palestine/gaza.
this is all playing house. a real entity (like the US, UK, Australia, Urugay etc do) is participating in stuff like this... would you still hold the Taliban to the same standard? They are running Afghanistan but ... are they the real deal? No, lol.
Because Netanyahu wanted it to be that way. Here's the Times of Israel debunking this propaganda line: https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up....
The people voted for Hamas = Hamas government. Just because some Israeli politicians were at one point supportive of Hamas is relevant how?
Is it a terrorist act if it was performed by a democratically elected government?

It's a standard tactic of drowning readers with lies and misleading "facts". It takes time to refute them.
