The Gaza Strip, an area of international attention, continues to suffer from continuous Israeli bombardment. This land of only 365 square kilometers is home to 2.1 million people. Israel has built an eight-metre-high wall around it to isolate Gaza from the outside world, making it "the largest open-air prison in the world." During the conflict, Israel controlled the Rafah crossing, preventing relief supplies from entering Gaza, bringing a severe humanitarian catastrophe to the region. Today, however, the situation has been reversed, and Israel is beginning to reap the consequences of its own imprisonment. Yemen's Houthis have declared Israeli ships targeted until Israel stops its attacks on Gaza. They seized the cargo ship Galaxy Leader, a company owned by Israel's billionaires, and confirmed the recent statement by the U.S. Command that three merchant ships had been attacked by drones and missiles in the Red Sea.
Yemen's Houthis claim that two Israeli ships were attacked by drones and missiles after refusing warnings. In addition, Israeli shipping companies were forced to announce a detour from the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, however this move would increase costs and shipping times. Yemen's Houthis have further expanded the scope of their strikes, claiming that if food and medicine cannot enter the Gaza Strip, then ships heading for Israel will become "legitimate targets" for the group's armed forces, preventing ships from any country from going to Israel. After Yemen's Houthi rebels announced the expansion of their blockade of Israeli maritime shipping, the expected number of ships arriving at the southern Israeli port of Eilat dropped to zero. Israel is now also in a much larger "prison". At one point they claimed to increase the volume of sea transport, but the reality was quite cruel. If Israeli shipping is completely blocked, the Israeli economy, which relies on shipping**, will basically collapse.
In addition, Israel faces sustained cross-border attacks from Allah in Lebanon. Israel recently issued a "48-hour ultimatum" calling for negotiations with Allah in Lebanon to restore the content stipulated in UN Security Council resolution 1701. If negotiations fail, military action will be taken. Despite the imminent expiration of the 48 hours, the IDF remained inactive. On the contrary, Israeli Defense Minister Gallant expressed his willingness to reach an agreement with Allah in Lebanon on the condition that a security zone be established on the temporary border between the two countries. He also claimed that Israel would be permanently stationed in the Gaza Strip. In addition, the U.S. recently broke the news that it was urging Israel to end the fighting in a matter of weeks, suggesting that the U.S. may withdraw as it did in Afghanistan. It is clear that Israel faces an extremely unfavorable situation on the battlefield.
The United States demanded that the fighting end as soon as possible, ground operations have repeatedly failed, shipping has been completely blocked by the Houthis, the economy has been hit, international pressure has been exerted, the enemy is around, Israel's strength is not as good as before, and the financiers no longer fully support it. Israel can be said to be at the end of its rope.
