Occupation harshness continues. Gaza's siege reflects collective punishment. On March 24, the Gisha Legal Center for Freedom of Movement said Netanyahu's promises mean nothing.

Palestinian fishing rights were restricted. They're reduced from six to three miles offshore. 

Egypt's brokered November ceasefire extended them to 11km. The Convention on the Law of the Sea affirms them up to 12 nautical miles (14 statute ones).

Coastal waters are sovereign state territory. In November 1988, Palestinian statehood was established. Its territory remains illegally occupied.

Israel "tightened restrictions on the movement of people and goods into and out of Gaza," said Gisha.

Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon ordered them. He did so lawlessly.

Kerem Shalom is Gaza's only commercial crossing. It's been closed for days.
