🇵🇸 Turning Point: Gaza Blockade
On 26 January 2006, a significant shift in the balance of power began.
The surprise triumph of Hamas in the Palestinian legislative elections shattered four decades of Fatah's rule, split the West Bank and Gaza between the groups and caused the indefinite blockade of Gaza.
In this episode of MEE’s history explainer series Turning Point, we take a look at how this moment led to Israel's implementation of a land, air, and naval blockade on the Gaza Strip. A siege confining 2.2 million Palestinians in the world's largest "open-air prison".
