(cont.) There are clear laws on enforcing blockades – Israel’s interception of the #Madleen raises serious questions (The Conversation, 2025-06-10)

>> Naval blockades are not automatically illegal. … a blockade may be used in wartime, but only if five legal conditions are met:
• it must be formally declared and publicly notified
• it must be effectively enforced in practice
• it must be applied impartially to all ships
• it must not block access to neutral ports or coastlines
• it must not stop the delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians.
>> If even one of these conditions is not met, the blockade may be considered illegal under customary international humanitarian law.

Israel being anything but lawless at this point…

seems odd that the article talks about how you can and can't enforce blockades, without underlining that this blockade itself is illegal, since it forms an element of Israel's illegal occupation of Gaza, as confirmed in the ICJ advisory opinion.
