There are three main reasons that this does not happen:
Lack of Legal Permission: Since Hamas controls the Gaza Strip in a de facto but not de jure way, they have no legal grounds for assuming the name Palestine, which would refer to a legally legitimate Arab State in part of the former British Mandate of Palestine.
Ease of Use: The term Gaza Strip is well-known and easily recognizable. It has been in use since 1949 and a change would cause some confusion and much annoyance.
Implicit Recission of Larger Claims: Hamas is afraid that if they call the lands they currently occupy as Palestine, it might be said to have implicitly taken back its calls for the entire former British Mandate of Palestine. This is a claim that they do not wish to take back.
What else can I help you with?
Two regions palestine have control of in israel?
West Bank and Gaza Strip. FYI Israel is in Palestine occupying not the other way around.
Why is there no Palestine now that Israel has given the Palestinians the Gaza Strip for them to govern by themselves?
The Palestinians do have independent government in the Gaza Strip. It is not recognized since it is a rogue state that refuses to acknowledge or follow past treaties.
Is Islamabad the Hamas?
No. Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan. Hamas is a Terrorist/Paramilitary organization which governs the Gaza Strip of Palestine.
Who has more land Palestine or Israel?
It depends on your terms. If you are referring to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip cumulatively as Palestine and the 1949 borders of the State of Israel as Israel, then Israel is 3x larger than Palestine. If you are referring to the British Mandate of Palestine, then the State of Israel according to 1949 borders is smaller than Palestine. If you are comparing the current areas under Israeli control to the area of Mandatory Palestine, they are roughly equal. (The gain in the Golan Heights is more-or-less offset by the loss of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank Zone A regions.)
