Mehdi Hasan challenges Israel's argument that it no longer occupies the Gaza Strip.

Israel says it no longer occupies Gaza after disengaging from the strip of land in 2005.

But Palestinians, international organisations, human rights groups and governments, including the United States, argue Gaza is still occupied.

In the Reality Check, Mehdi Hasan challenges Israel's narrative, arguing the country still controls Gaza's borders, airspace and territorial waters. He also points to the fact Israel controls the population register, meaning the government defines who is and who is not a resident of Gaza.
