00:03 This is unprecedented.
00:08 But as they say, everything is fair in love and war.
00:12 And war it is that Israel has declared on Gaza.
00:18 Israeli Defense Minister, Yoav Galant, in his own words,
00:22 says a total blockade has been declared on Gaza.
00:26 Now this means there is going to be severe restrictions
00:29 on food, electricity, water, and fuel.
00:33 Galant characterizes the move as part of a broader strategy
00:37 against what he terms beastly people,
00:40 referring to the ruling factions of Hamas in Gaza.

01:00 Gaza, with over two million residents,
01:02 has been enduring a crippling air, land, and sea
01:05 blockade since 2007.
01:08 The enclave already faces critical shortages
01:11 of water, electricity, medicines,
01:13 and medical resources.
01:16 Galant's announcement further intensifies
01:18 the crisis in the region.
01:20 Israel and Egypt have maintained various levels of blockade
01:23 on Gaza since 2007, when Hamas took control of the territory.
01:28 Amid the escalating tensions, experts
01:30 warn that the situation between Israel and Palestine
01:33 is expected to deteriorate further.
01:36 There is growing speculation about the possibility
01:39 of boots on the ground.
01:42 The internationalization of the conflict
01:44 is also increasing with geopolitical implications,
01:47 including the involvement of external powers
01:50 like Iran and the US.
01:51 While Iran has denied its role, the United States
01:54 says it will send multiple military ships and aircraft
01:58 closer to Israel as a show of support.
