Biden to announce US will build port on Gaza shore for large-scale aid delivery

Mam, I wish geopolitics was as simple as you "genocide joe" bros seem to think it is.

This is actually huge and we should be celebrating it as a win. We'll that's if you actually care about the people of Gaza and don't just want to use them as an excuse to attack Biden.

Did they find oil in Gaza? /s

But for real though, if/when Israel bombs a US-built humanitarian shipping port, will the US finally stop supplying bombs?

This is so silly. This is just Biden trying to keep both sides of his own party happy....

He'll build that port to supply Palestinians with bread and water, while he provides Israel with M-16s and rocket launchers https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/06/israel-weapons-sales-loophole

The White House has become that ditz down the street who fills her daughter's closet with designer clothes and Jimmy Choos, while allowing her new husband to creep into DD's bed 4-5 nights a week

Learning the history behind this conflict has made me reach the conclusion that the only way for it to be resolved is for Zionists to return the land they've stolen.

Just stop Israel and the problem is solved. No need to complicate yourselves with a damn port.

"We are not waiting on the Israelis"

Also

The scheme will take several weeks to put into action, however, carrying the risk of supplying too little relief, too late.

Someone tell Biden that if he actually wants to do something he has a few aircraft carriers and frigates nearby perfectly capable of delivering food

Or maybe Biden doesn't want to do anything. He just wants to make it look like he does something. Wonder which it could be.

Israel already blocks all ship based access to Gaza. Building a port won't change this

This is a moment for American leadership

Oooooooh shiiiit we know how this plays out

Still, at least the Palestinians have a shot at winning this one then 😂

Where is Meggido, again?

Oh snap, we invading.

The war machine must play both sides.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

US forces will build a temporary port on the Gaza shoreline in the next few weeks to allow delivery of humanitarian aid on a large scale, Joe Biden will announce in the State of the Union speech.

This is a moment for American leadership,” a senior US official said on Thursday, reflecting growing frustration of what is seen in Washington as Israeli obstruction of road deliveries on a substantial scale.

“Tonight, the president will announce in his State of the Union address that he has directed the US military to undertake an emergency mission to establish a port in Gaza, working in partnership with like minded countries and humanitarian partners,” the official said.

In his State of the Union speech, Biden will also announce the opening of a new land crossing into the occupied and devastated coastal strip.

Biden has been fiercely criticised within his own party for the failure to open up Gaza to humanitarian aid, with a famine looming and 30,000 Palestinians dead already since the start of war on 7 October.

“We will coordinate with the Israelis on the security requirements on land and work with the UN and humanitarian NGOs on the distribution of assistance within Gaza,” a senior official said.

I've been asking for this. It feels kind of good, in a "it could be worse" sort of way, I guess. I hope the Israelis accidentally shell a jeep and cuss us out for parking there so that we can all agree to remove Netanyahu by force.

To which Hamas and/or the Israelis will probably start attacking it.

In some parallel world, hamas would have such a port already built, because they didn't spend all their resources on building missiles.
