I disagree with any of your definitions.
Since Gaza clearly declared its hostility towards Israel, it’s only natural that Gaza will be monitored.
Here’s your terminology “.. Also the rafah crossing is controlled by Egypt with the coordination of Israel”, it seems what’s bothering you is the “coordination with Israel” part. Why ? if a person wants to cross the border to Egypt, Israel is not preventing that. So basically your claim is to drop all monitoring actions towards a hostile neighbour and to let them bring in all the military equipment that they like. I mean, Russia went to war with Ukraine over that.. Israel is not making anything up. No reasonable country in the world will have an open border policy with hostile neighbour lol.
The Egyptians are pissing all over the Egypt-Israel peace agreement anyways so what exactly is the “coordination” with Israel ? Gaza has a border with a friendly state, they are not occupied.
sure use whatever definition you want. Yes egypt and israel coordinate together what goes in and out through rafah. Israel has significant influence over egypt's border with gaza. And the rest is controlled by israel.
Furthermore, denying Gaza's humanitarian crisis and debating definitions won't solve it. Israeli control severely impacts daily life there while Egypts involvement doesnt change the fundamental issue: gaza's isolation and suffering. Gaza needs solutions not justifications for its struggles.
15k kids have been killed already. It is a known fact that israel cant kill all hamas members. Its just not realistic. There are over 2mil people in gaza and by israels own estimate there is about 20-30k hamas members.
You dont do peace with your friends. You do it with your enemies. If you block people from getting anything in and out, control their borders, control their airspace and maritime you should not be surprised if they smuggle weapons to do an armed resistance... That's just common sense.
