Muddying things though, is the Gaza-Egypt border. It remains to be seen whether Israel will enforce a blockade there and/or whether Egypt will also keep the crossing closed.

Two points, cutting off supplies to an enemy country is not a war crime, never has been, we cut off everything from Germany in 1939, Gaza is a country, fully independent, they also have a border with Egypt, Hamas has had 20 years to go to its Muslim backers and ask for help in building desalination plants, create an infrastructure for the country that they fully control, there are no Israeli settlements in Gaza, if it needs Israel to survive as we need the US then it has to accept Israel's existence, it has to accept its borders and work with Israel, to be frank Hamas and the backers of Gaza sound like my teenage foster kid smashing the TV in a fit of pique and then complaining their parents wont buy them a new TV, they have a country they control, they should have built things instead of engaging in an endless unwinnable war with Israel with the stated and absurd aim of wiping Israel of the face of the earth
