that's every israeli government member interviewed about this extermination operation. interviewing them is just as useless as interviewing russian officials early in 2022 to get both sides of the story. though to be fair, it's equally useless to interview hamas officials, who proclaim to have only taken israeli soldiers hostage and to have harmed no civilians, but have already uploaded various videos of kidnapped children and of beating and murdering civilians, then release elderly americans, and are actually holding over 50 foreign farm workers with only thai citizenship, who would be extremely difficult to confuse with israelis or jews. I would guess that the latter happened because many of the hamas attackers did not think that it was right to kill the thais (with the exception of at least one failed beheading utensil trendsetter), but then figured that they couldd in fact harm israel by setting a precedent that terrorism alao threatens foreign workers in order to deter others from coming to israel to work. I hear it has had that effect at least on thais to some degree, but if the war comes to an end that resembles the prior status quo, then I would expect enougg thai farmers to figure out that the real risk is not big enough to warrant a change in behaviour.
well, there is one thing for which interviewing israeli officials is useful: to let them incriminate themselves. because their comfortable expectation of impunity has them being extremely careless in controlling what they say, much more so than russia or hamas. more like W's "holy crusade" declaration, or biden falsely claiming to have been shown pictures of beheaded babies, and then falsely correcting himself to claim he had "had that confirmed" (he didn't actually have any basis for it from official information channel). or those four times biden lied that the US military is pledged to defend taiwan against china.

you are thoroughly mistaken.
the amount of aid is so small that it's still much more so a situation of the aid not arriving than the aid arriving. in some detail:
gaza normally imports over 400 truckloads of goods a day. they have received no goods at all for two weeks, that's a deficit of 5600 truckloads. in order to replace the lost water supply with bottled water or water tanks, even just enough water for drinking, they would need many more truckloads than normal. they have now received 37 truckloads in the space of two days, a supply rate of less than 5% of the normal level.
besides not receiving the usual goods, they have also run out of all electricity and practically all fuel, including generator fuel for hospitals. to get electricity again, even just for the hospital generators or to provide the 20% of electricity that the one diesel powerplant normally supplies, they would need to import more fuel than normal, and so far, israel insists on not allowing in any fuel. they also need fuel to pump almost all water sources (except for a trickle from some wells, which is generally unsafe to drink) or to desalinate seawater as they normally do. israel has announced having reconnected parts of only southern gaza to the israeli water supply, but to get to any taps, it would need to be pumped on the gazan side with fuel that has run out.

I would say that out of the various terms for types of captivity, calling gaza a mostly closed ghetto would be most accurate. meanwhile west bank palestinian habitation centers form a normally mostly internally open and somewhat externally open ghetto network, while the israeli encroachment between them is just unofficial fully israeli territory partially beyond the walls. palestinian habitation in israel is mostly restricted to segregated neighbourhoods, or what people nowadays call ghettos in america and europe - a historically illiterate and insensitive misapplication of the term, which would be better reserved for situations resembling medieval and third reich jewish ghettos, which form the long original history of the term.
concentration camps always have guards within, and prisons almost always do, too - with few exceptions where either successful prison revolts have established something resembling a ghetto system (like the san pedro and palmasola prisons in bolivia), or where prisons have become so horrendously overcrowded with largely already previously extremely violent gang members that guards have withdrawn and keep inmates very much like dangerous animals, doing little more than delivering supplies and removing corpses.
by contrast, third reich ghettos always had jewish ghetto police working inside, more or less reliably under nazi command. and I believe medieval ghettos also would have had (probably much more independent) community policing, since mutual distrust and disgust between christians and jews would have made both avoid contact, and made attempted impositions of control within the ghetto impractically difficult. sort of like the difficulties in today's attempts to better integrate into society europe's untouchables, the romani people.
