Have ALL the palees get in a single line from Israel threading all the way thru Gaza, all holding hands. Then, on the free hand of the end palie on the Israel side, 2,000,000 volts are supplied. Since palies are great conductors, this brings power to all the far reaches into Gaza.
So, if it gets a bit chilly there, the paliees have no fear - they will have plenty of power and be nicely warmed at the same time.
There was a period where Israel refused to provide fuel without being paid for it and it turned into a big UN issue as I recall. So, yeah, there’s history of just the sort of thing you outline.

Nobody gets anything for free.

The Palestinians are culturally appropriating electricity anyway, so cut it off. It’s polluting their pristine state of nature.
Regardless of ideology, I hope for the sake of those residing in that precarious pile of loosely organized debris that there are no earthquakes there.
