I Face Investigation for Terrorism

The only other neighboring state is Egypt and they get billions of dollars a year from the US as a condition of their peace with Israel.

Between that and the blockade of their coast, they're 100% sealed off from any trade, fishing or immigration that Israel doesn't choose to allow.

Maybe "occupation" isn't the right word but they don't get to act like an independent state.

I'm not arguing that Gaza has been occupied, but was there anything stopping from leaving by sea, besides access to boats and not having recognized passports?

Yes, there's a blockade administered by Israel for security reasons. They can't even fish their exclusive economic zone.
