Israel controls the electricity supply to Palestine

Claim

Name

Israel controls the electricity supply to Palestine

Types

Opposing arguments

Israel cannot control the supply of electricity to the Gaza strip because it is not the only supplier of electricity to the Gaza strip

Quotes that support the claim

First, since Israel controls all entry points into Gaza, they have banned the entry of fuel used for the power plant, which has reduced electricity production in Gaza. There have also been accusations of Israel’s military forces directly targeting the Gaza Power Plant and electric power lines during conflicts in order to reduce access to electricity even more for the Palestinians in Gaza.

As mentioned earlier, Israel controls all access in and out of the Gaza Strip, using that control to restrict the supplies, humanitarian aid, and even the electricity that goes into Gaza. This has created an energy crisis in Gaza, where 2 million Palestinians live without reliable access to the resources they need.
