Despite what Israeli propaganda would have you believe, the current “war” did not begin all of a sudden with the Oct 7th attacks, and there was no “permanent ceasefire” in place at that time.
Israel has been illegally occupying Palestinian territory since 1967 (ignoring the fact the latter were ousted from their homeland in 1948, when the modern state of Israel was formed) and has oppressing and ethnic cleansing these areas ever since. The Oct 7th retaliation just spurred on the Netanyahu government to try and finish the job in Gaza once and for all.
Sure - the 6 Day War was initiated by Israel, which then seized territory in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, and Sinai Peninsula.
This is illegal under international law, particularly according to United Nations Security Council Resolution 242, which Israel has managed to successfully ignore ever since.
Closing the straits was not technically an act of war, and a preemptive strike (like Israel’s) means you start a war first, no matter which way you look at it.
