laws? it’s internationally illegal, but that doesn’t matter, hence all the UN resolutions that Israel ignores.
incidents? sure, here’s an article from a few years ago of an incident that got somewhat prominent outside the region, it’s just that no one cares if the IDF blows a few brown fishermen out of the water (hell outside the English publication of a few prominent Hebrew papers people wouldn’t even know that Netanyahu was aiding Hamas to stay in power)
This is a complete nonsense. If Israel wanted, they could have starved Gaza far sooner and would not play with them for 80 years.
In addition, we can theoretically consider Israel the biggest Gaza supporters because they give them electricity and water for free. No Arab country does that.
I see they have that little Egypt strip there … I do take your point and it’s a good one but I still struggle with the Germany france comparison. Maybe like luxembourg and Germany or France… or Avignon with the double pope – How about that?
Or the Basques would be good if they ever had their own real country
Neither West Bank and Gaza are landlocked inside Israel. Sorry, but I don’t know what your point is here.
considering that the IDF guards even the strip connecting Gaza to Egypt, yes Israel is basically land locking Gaza
How? They were not in Gaza until the war began. In addition, there is the sea.
IDF ships shoot anything that strays too far from the coast, and the guards don’t have to be in the cells to have people imprisoned
I am not aware of that fact. Are there any laws/incidents which would prohibit normal ships from leaving the area?

Well yes, you cannot just let a ship go to Gaza because of the possibility of bringing even more weapons there.
dude, the import restrictions are ad hawk, nonsense and seemingly change every week, this isn’t about weapons it’s about trying to starve them out

I agree, your comparisons are better.
Portugal? Vatican?
