A new report by Gisha, the Legal Center for Freedom of Movement, a Tel Aviv-based rights group, debunks Israel's recently manufactured big lie that it has left Gaza. It shows that although the army and the settlements have been removed, Israel still controls Gaza. According to In Disengaged Occupiers: the Legal Status of Gaza:
"Israel controls Gaza through a kind of 'invisible hand', which is hard to see but felt intensely by Gaza residents, who know that their ability to do basic things – buy milk, turn on electric lights, travel abroad – depend on decisions made by Israel."
I should add that this report debunks the smaller lie of the Palestinian groups who bragged that they "liberated" Gaza. It goes both ways!
