Gaza Strip borders with Egypt too.

  I'm not sure what your point is?

    His point is that you're talking about Israel's blockade but Egypt could also end it, they choose not to.

      None of that really engages with what I was talking about. I'm not really interested in this kind of pedantic wank over the exact meaning of "blockade" or playing some sort of partisan blame game. If you think Gaza is "just" some piece of land and Egypt can "just" end its problems then you're either profoundly misinformed or a bad-faith troll.

        There are many more uninformed people on HN on any particular topic than you seem to imply. If you know better, please don't accuse but provide some links.

      If that border was fully under control of Egypt, there would not be a trickle of aid in, but hundreds of trucks would be passing through. Egypt is bound by some agreements, too: https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/new-reality-egypt-gaza-border-part-i-contents-new-israel-egypt-agreement https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/new-real... Anyway, occupying power can't displace occupied population to other country, for any reason, without violating Geneva Convention: https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/gciv-1949/article-49 https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/gciv-1949/art... Not that Isreal cares, but rest of the world does.
