This was said at the heat of the moment when the bodies of the Oct 7th victims were still warm and the entire country was stunned and lost.
This complete siege didn't happen.

Uhhhh yes it did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Israeli_blockade_of_the_G...
> On 9 October 2023, Israel imposed a "total blockade" of the Gaza Strip, blocking the entry of food, water, medicine, fuel and electricity.
But Israel does allow food and water to enter Gaza. Some fuel. And yes, it stopped providing a portion of Gaza's electricity.
I think this (new) Wikipedia article is somewhat iffy. And maybe I'm misusing terminology. I think Israel's actions in this context constitute a blockade that is legal in times of war. I don't want to nitpick siege vs. blockage etc. or the fact that Israel doesn't control all the borders. Israel's actions here are legal.
> But Israel does allow food and water to enter Gaza
You mean by not bombing rafah crossing in violation of international law as they did several times already?

At least provide any sources during your quest to defend isreal actions. Even if it is straightout lies like that one [1]
Hint : the story is about Israeli military releases footage of a secret terrorist ‘roster’ that turns out to be a calendar (that was very obvious for any one with basic arabic knowledge) and that was their justification for bombing and taking out a children hospital bt force.
