The pier built by the U.S. military to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza will be reinstalled Wednesday to be used for several days, but then the plan is to pull it out permanently, several U.S. officials said. It would deal the final blow to a project long plagued by bad weather, security uncertainties and difficulties getting food into the hands of starving Palestinians.<\/p>\n
The officials said the goal is to clear whatever aid has piled up in Cyprus and on the floating dock offshore and get it to the secure area on the beach in Gaza. Once that has been done, the Army will dismantle the pier and depart. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because final details are still being worked out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Another Biden masterclass in foreign policy on display. The UN has really shone here as well, with UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) spox stating roughly 500 trucks of humanitarian aid alone \u2014 never mind commercial supplies \u2014 are needed each day to meet the basic needs of the Palestinians. The pier could never hope to meet this level of support. The supplies stockpiled on the beach have sat there for the last three weeks due to IDF hostage rescue efforts and are just now being delivered to UNRWA warehouses.<\/p>\n
But, Joe’s Handlers can tell their Hamas sympathizers they Did Something in Gaza. This was the goal all along. Thanks to AW1 Rod for the head’s up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
