You mean the agreement between the PA, Egypt, Israel and the EU that set the rules for that crossing? They are certainly NOT following them. Those rules specifically require the PA to police gaza's side, which they can't bc Hamas threw them out.
and questions and searches anyone wanting to enter or leave Gaza
Like at an airport?
Gaza is a prison.
Call it whatever you want. Hyperbole hardly strengthens your case.
More importantly, you've been ignoring my more significant questions to quibble over semantics. The fact remains that Israel DID make sacrifices that gave the Palestinians a lot more freedom and autonomy. They used it to attack Israel, resulting in their current situation.
So where were all the accolades immediately after wiyhdrawal? You insist that taking steps like that will have a positive effect for Israel. So why didn't it in the past?
