Israel hasn’t occupied Gaza for around 18 years, although it sounds like that might soon change. Gaza is blockaded. I agree with the sentiment though, this is a ridiculous and petty stunt.
The Israeli settlers were removed back then but that doesn’t mean it’s not occupied. That’s the official position of the state of Israel but it’s contested by many international organizations.

Fancy leaving your country and your home because someone else wants it?
US sells arms to Egypt and keeps it on short leash with respect to anything Israel.

The Apartheid-regime didn’t “occupy” the Bantustans, either.
