    🧵Israel is engineering new methods of starvation in Gaza—in parallel with banning international aid groups. What’s imposed on goods entry isn’t regulation; it’s a coercive economic policy designed to re-produce control over Gaza Strip through the market, not just military force.

    2/3 This has become an outright monopoly: just four Israeli companies control the flow, quantity, and prices of goods. Gaza’s market is stripped of Palestinian economic decision-making and turned into a captive extension of Israel’s economy.

    3/3 Most dangerous are the so-called “coordination fees”—USD 90k–USD 270k per truck—passed directly to consumers. With only a fraction of promised trucks allowed in, mostly commercial goods, prices explode while shelters and production inputs are blocked. This is organized plunder: over $1B extracted from Gaza in two years by weaponizing trade against civilians.
