Maritime aid corridor to Gaza will require close US-Israel cooperation • FRANCE 24 English
There will have to be a very close coordination between the US and Israel to get this project moving forward I think it’s interesting to hear what US officials have been saying about this in press briefings saying they’re not waiting for Israel to take the lead on
This they’re saying that now is the time for us leadership a sign perhaps that the US really does want to take matters into its own hands when it comes to getting Aid to the people of Gaza at least that’s the image it wants to project of course Joe Biden stressing
That there won’t be um US military boots on the ground in Gaza but that they but officials saying that there will be US military personnel on offshore vessels to build this pier which could take uh around about a month uh of course ships delivering Aid to Gaza arriving uh
Arriving in Gaza will be subject to Israeli checks uh in uh Cyprus um so the US does appear to be taking the initiative when it comes to aid but make no doubt about it um you know Israel will be very closely monitoring what gets in and out of Gaza as it always has
Done so there will be very close coordination between the two sides
An international effort gathered pace on Friday to get desperately needed humanitarian relief into Gaza by sea, in the latest bid to counter overland access restrictions blamed on Israel as it battles Hamas militants.

The land corridor needs Israel’s cooperation. How’s that going?
NuttyYahoo and the IDF will probably act passive aggressive if it requires cooperation of any sort.
What the catch😮😮
It's all white wash
The US is boss Israel
We can't trust American government and army they're going to do whatever IDL tells them
We must have other countries who we truly trust involved like Ireland, South Africa Indonesia and there are many others too its a international overseeing effort to this
This is an Israeli/US plot to take responsibility for providing humanitarian aid to the Palestinians from UNRWA to themselves. UNRWA, as far as they are concerned have done too good a job. Israel stops the trucks, the Palestinians are forced to turn to the US for food. They become totally dependent on the US for survival, therefore controlable. No more Hamas. No two-state solution. No share in the natural gas wealth off the coast of Gaza.
What if Russia did the same to win war killed and starved civilians to put pressure to lay down arms…
The reason why global south don't trust EU n west….they want everyone to stop doing business with Russia n were enjoying business with a occupying force n supporting terrorist settlers in west bank
Port is to ship in heavy weapons
UNRWA: Israel forces detained employee to lie about ties to Hamas
On March 8, a report of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) was quoted as saying that some employees who had been detained by Israel claimed that Israel forced them to lie about UNRWA’s links with the Palestinian armed organization Hamas (Hamas), and to lie about It is claimed that employees participated in Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
According to reports, the report is dated February 2024 and is 11 pages long. The report documents the ill-treatment of Palestinians in Israeli detention, including allegations made by several UNRWA staff.
Fun Fact: The United States is the #1 donor to Palestinians. Much more than any Arab country, much more than all of them combined.
Second place is usually Germany or the EU as a whole. Where is Iran?
The US has given over $5 Billion dollars of aid to Palestinians since 1994 through USAID alone, and more through other sources. The US is the largest donor to the United Nations Relief & Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees. It's not just the government, American citizens write checks totaling millions of dollars.
How much have the anti-Israel/anti-US trolls here donated to help Palestinian refugees?
France 24 AI deletes comments. Of course mine was positive toward the US (ie, the largest donor to Palestinians by far).
Pathetic move. What about medical supplies for hospitals.
There will have to be close cooperation between Israel and the US? Duh Israel is getting supply of all their weapons from the US, Blinken by passed congress in fast racking the delivery. What other cooperation is he talking about?
When the U$A says they want to help you by building infrastructure in your country, they don't mean hospitals, roads, schools, etc.
They mean military bases.
–island country saying
Biden couldn’t care less. He wants to be re-elected. He has a Moslem problem. They’ve co-opted BLM and ANTIFA.
Its like saying we are going to work with Russia to help Ukraine please stop the Bs
More than 100 US weapon deliveries to israel since October 7. Biden is fully complicit and a disgusting hypocrite and war criminal. This campaign is just to get votes from those who are easily fooled
Then when the "AID" gets there they will still let the APARTHEID STATE inspect the "AID" to see if they will ALLOW it to get into GAZA. SOOO WEAK!!
If BIDEN were not so AFRAID of NETRANYAHU and AIPAC…he could just tell them that he will be sending TRUCKS through and for the APARTHEID STATE to "get out of my way"
If it were RUSSIA you wouldn't allow this.
