Israel's supplementing Gaza's water and electricity was never their responsibility to begin with! Gaza gets billions of dollars from the outside world for such things, but Hamas diverts the money for terrorism instead. Hamas has actually released videos of them proudly dismantling water pipes for use as rocket parts so they can fire them into Israeli high-population centers.
In that Israel never had to supply such things to Gaza to begin with, they really don't need to do so after the recipients began using their supplies to murder Israeli citizens. And yet...Israel only said on Oct 8 that they would shut off the water until the hostages were returned! That's a pretty reasonable request, don't you think? And yet, within days, Israel even turned on the water anyway for the southern part of Gaza, as an incentive to have civilians move away from the areas where Israel would have to attack in order to remove Hamas. All in all, Israel went far above and beyond their responsibilities, as they always do.
As to your next question...the Palestinian Authority does not exist in Gaza, because Hamas killed all of them. There was a civil war in Gaza between the groups in 2007/2008, and Hamas annihilated all PA members in Gaza at the time.
To be clear, the West Bank is full of radical Islamist genocidal terrorists as well. The "moderate" PA celebrated the October 7th attacks, and also paid out reward money to the terrorists who committed the atrocities (or to their surviving family members), as the PA does after every terrorist attack against Jews or Americans. It is colloquially known as "pay for slay". Not too moderate, really.
So while the media portrays the Israelis as the aggressors in the West Bank? That is really not accurate. Yes, there have been isolated attacks against civilian West Bank Arabs by Israeli settlers during this time of insanely high tensions; Israel has arrested all such perpetrators. Such events, though, are a tiny, tiny percentage of Jewish/Arab incidents in the West Bank. Nearly every violent attack has been Islamist terrorism against Jews. One reason Israel was caught unprepared on October 7 is because they had focused their security in the area of the West Bank, as there had been a big increase in Islamist genocidal terrorism there. Please understand that Arabs can safely walk in any area of any neighborhood in Israel proper without a care in the world, and will not be bothered by anyone. Any identifiable Jew caught in an Arab area of the West Bank will be dead within seconds. That is not an exaggeration; examples abound.
Understand that even in the West Bank, nominally run by the PA, it is the Hamas supporters who are dominant. The PA is seen as not militant enough by those who want to annihilate Israel. Public polling shows that Hamas is extremely popular there, that the Oct 7 attacks supported is by 75% of the Arab population of the West Bank, with 98% saying they hate the US. Only 10% of the populace there supports the PA. Which is why PA President Mahmoud Abbas is in the 17th year of his 4 year term - he always finds a reason to cancel elections, because he knows he would get crushed by Hamas.
