      Recognizing it as their airspace isn’t legitimizing their claim to any territory, it’s just an acknowledgement that they hold it fully in their control.

        That’s like your opinion dude. In actual law national airspace (the only airspace a nation can actually own) extents over territory (whether land or territorial waters).

        So in reality recognizing airspace over Gaza as being Israel’s recognizes Gaza as Israeli territory.

          Ever hear the saying possession is 9/10 of the law? It doesn’t matter who’s the legal owner of the airspace when your primary concern is preventing a major diplomatic incident.
