> No, Israel is not in direct control of Gaza

It does however have a complete blockade on Gaza, and has done for decades. It also has control over a signifiant amount of territory inside the wall -- get too close and you get shot.

Gaza is on the sea, but you can't import water, fuel, food etc from the sea because Israel will sink any boat trying to.



This is exactly the point I make above. That they are in effective control.
