Israel did not respect Gaza borders. The occupation just continued in another form. This might not be your view, but it has never been a controversial view.

Comparing the economies of Egypt and the west bank is pointless and you know it. The Egypt pound has been devalued to hell and back. It has lost something like 6x in value to the US dollar in 20 years.

The WTO has consistently highlighted the Israeli control over the west bank as the main roadblock to Palestinian economic development and independence.

Regarding the Gazan health ministry, those numbers are confirmed deaths from armed conflict. It does NOT include starved children, or cancer patients who died from the lack of care. Nor does it include people under rubble. It should be considered as the lower bound of deaths.

What we will have to look at afterwards is excess deaths.
