The first rule of political rhetoric is that only the part after the "but" actually matters to the speaker. International law is clear about what constitutes an occupation (this isn't one), when consignments can be stopped (here they can).

On Gaza: "Yes, the hostages must be released, now....But international law is unequivocal: As the occupying power, Israel must allow humanitarian support in....To the Israeli authorities, and those who can still reason with them, we say again: lift this brutal blockade. Let humanitarians save lives. To the civilians left unprotected, no apology can suffice. But I am truly sorry that we are unable to move the international community to prevent this injustice." --Tom Fletcher, @UNReliefChief U.N. humanitarian chief
