That is very naive given Israel's history. They take the supplies, and then act as an intermediary to give the supplies to the Palestinians. It is said the proportion of supplies received is not the full amount. If they wanted to do it right they could inspect the supplies in front of the UN, and/or a third party aid group, and then directly hand them to them from there. But they don't want to do this, they want to punish Palestinians as a whole, and it isn't legal or right.
