      Occupation isn’t necessary if your government controls all traffic in and out, water, power, and food.

        It doesn’t. They also share a border with Egypt. Have they tried to make good diplomatic relations with them?

          US sells arms to Egypt and keeps it on short leash with respect to anything Israel.

          You mean the Egypt being ruled by a US-backed and funded dictatorship? That the Egypt we’re talking about?

      Israel hasn’t occupied Gaza for around 18 years

      The Apartheid-regime didn’t “occupy” the Bantustans, either.

      The Israeli settlers were removed back then but that doesn’t mean it’s not occupied. That’s the official position of the state of Israel but it’s contested by many international organizations.
