Tucker Carlson highlights statements from top Israeli officials about Gaza, framing the war as genocidal in intent from the start — bad for Palestinians and damaging to Israel's international standing.

• Israel's defense minister said no food or electricity would be allowed into Gaza, calling Palestinians "human animals."
• Jerusalem's deputy mayor went further, calling them "subhuman" and suggesting they be buried alive with bulldozers.
• Reports indicate some Palestinians were in fact buried alive by bulldozers during the fighting.
• The framing argues the war's aim was extermination, not just defeating Hamas.

Outlook: Expect more international pressure on Israel as such quotes circulate, with growing calls to label the Gaza campaign a genocide.
