Mass Starvation as State Policy.
The Israeli government isn't acting is self-defense. It's not carrying out a War on Terror.' what it wants is the make life in Gaza so insufferable that nobody can live there. By death or relocation (they do not care which) Israel wants no Arabs alive in the Gaza Strip.
The publicly deny a famine in Gaza but their own figures show that there is not enough food getting in to meet people's basic calorie needs.
In 2006, the IDF calculated the food going in and allowed it at a level to leave Palestinians hungry but not starving. Now they are letting aid in at well below those levels. They know how much food is getting in and they know it is not enough: by their own figures.

What has changed since 2006? Partly, it's that Israeli politics has shifted ever more extreme; with some politicians openly calling Palestinians sub human and advocating genocidal solutions. The majority of Israelis want all Palestinians expelled from Gaza.

Partly, it's because Israel believes that is has a blank cheque. In the past, the international community would exert pressure when things went 'too far.' Now the likes of Starmer respond with words. The RAF does reconnaissance for them and we sell them plane parts. The words mean nothing.
