Oslo 2
My edit was removed with the claim "(rv dubious claims and reference which claims referenced document says something it does not.)" Here is the text from the Oslo 2 agreement that backs up my edit. The Oslo Declaration of Principles has similar verbiage. the (Palestinian) Council will not have powers and responsibilities in the sphere of foreign relations Israel shall continue to carry the responsibility for defense against external threats, including the responsibility for protecting the Egyptian and Jordanian borders, and for defense against external threats from the sea and from the air the jurisdiction of the (Palestinian) Council will cover West Bank and Gaza Strip territory as a single territorial unit, except for ... borders, foreign relations ...

 * ARTICLE XII
 * ARTICLE XVII

This agreement is very important to the understanding of the dispute, and it should be mentioned. If you don't like my explanation, please propose an alternative that discusses these clauses.RichardMathews (talk) 15:04, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

You claim in your edit that Oslo 2 gives Israel 'exclusive control over external access' - but the parts of the Oslo accord you referenced mean the Palestinian Council has no foreign relations powers (e.g. can't set up embassies), and mean it has the responsibility to defend Israel and Palestine against external threats - neither of those which clearly give Israel 'exclusive control over external access'. I think that the claim is the claim is too long a bow to draw without falling foul of the no original research policy.

If Israel has claimed this interpretation, I think it could be in the article attributed to the relevant Israeli authority, together with any notable rebuttals and a note about how UN and several countries have condemned the blockade. However, this is probably too much detail given that there is already another article specifically on the blockade (2007–present blockade of the Gaza Strip) which discusses different opinions on the blockade. I think linking to this and removing the contenious material is therefore probably the best solution. A1kmm (talk) 08:33, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

2024 war
This article incorrectly claims a floating pier has been constructed in the place of the port. In fact, the pier has not been completed yet. Additionally, I do not believe the pier is supposed to be in the place of the port. NoamB (talk) 22:54, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
