Role: Israeli defence minister. Date: 9 October 2023.
Recorded quotation: “no electricity, no food, no fuel”.
Context: The ICJ's January 2024 order records Gallant announcing a complete siege. The excerpt is not the whole statement. The order's account refers to Gaza City. [S01, paragraph 52]
Why preserve it: This connects political language with restrictions on necessities. Its appearance in an order is significant; it does not independently establish a final criminal verdict.
