Original sentence: Israeli human rights organization Gisha, the Legal Center for Freedom of Movement, obtained an Israeli government document which says "A country has the right to decide that it chooses not to engage in economic relations or to give economic assistance to the other party to the conflict, or that it wishes to operate using 'economic warfare,' ".Sari Bashi, the director of Gisha, said that this shows that Israel isn't imposing its blockade for its stated reasons of a security measure to prevent weapons from entering Gaza, but rather as collective punishment for the Palestinian population of Gaza
Edited sentence: Israeli human rights organization Gisha, the Legal Center for Freedom of Movement, obtained an Israeli government document describing the blockade as "economic warfare" against Hamas.The Israeli government defended its policy as follows: "A country has the right to decide that it chooses not to engage in economic relations or to give economic assistance to the other party to the conflict, or that it wishes to operate using 'economic warfare'.The document, obtained after Gisha sued the Israeli government for information about the blockade and the Israeli High Court ruled in favour of the human rights organization, contradicts the repeated assertions of the Israeli government that the blockade was instituted as a security measure to prevent weapons from entering Gaza
