The US plans to build a temporary pier off the coast of Gaza • FRANCE 24 English
We had at the same time uh that EU announcement of a maritime Aid Corridor and the US plan to build a temporary Pier uh off the coast of Gaza Israel officially welcoming uh both initiatives um saying it will coordinate with the US and its allies to ensure Aid gets to the
People uh of Gaza uh of course the ships will set sail from Cyprus and uh just a short while ago a spokesperson for the cypriot Ministry of Foreign Affairs explain to me that the security checks that will be carried out on the cargo being loaded onto those ships will be
Carried out by cypriot Customs officials in the presence of Israeli officials who will be playing I’m told a quote Observer uh role and but serious questions still remain about this um you know the US with regards to that Pier says that Israel will secure it uh Israel has not confirmed that um the
Pier itself could take up to two months to build uh the waters off the coast of Gaza are very shallow that means that ships can’t get too close to the shore and in the meantime of course uh we’re told that a ship is setting sail this weekend from Cyprus heading to Gaza with
Humanitarian Aid on board but at this stage it still isn’t clear how and where uh that ship will unload that Aid to ensure that it gets to the people of Gaza who need it most

Israel initially welcomed both initiatives, saying it will cordinate with the US and it allies to ensure that aid gets to the people of Gaza.

No not off the coast. It attaches to the land so it is biden putting American boots on the ground in gaza
Praying for Peace in the middle east, Europe and the whole world 🌎 🙏
Should have been done months ago, would have saved tens of thousands of children
Israel: We bombed the port because it was overhead a submersible KHAMAS base. By the way do you condemn KHAMAS?
As a American Tax Payer I would prefer not to pay for what another country broke But if it has to be take the money from the proposed Aid for Israel this is their mess..
Won't happen. The environmental impact study will take 15 years
The nOnSeNsE in this – that the spknsor/proposers of this landing deck are the very same suppliers of the weapons causing the dedtruction to the people in the occupied area encampments……..
Bidumb getting himself in a predicament in a rivalry between two factions who are at war for thousands of years. What a quadmire for Dementia Biden, just like the open border he pushed for that he is stuck with.
Very clever : armaments for killings and humanitarian aid at the same time. Nothing personal- just money.
Would someone other than Israel please count how many innocent children starve and die from Israeli guns & bombs before aid gets delivered?
Two occupiers coming to attack the Palestinians
😢the Palestinians are doomed, Israel and America are bed fellows
Will Hamas have access to the pier?
Hmm, how does Russia unload stuff without docks? You do the same thing. It’s called a landing craft
We just need IDF to stop killing civilians. Iran can't let the US build that pier!
Hypocrites propaganda can do wonders
Military all ready have this stuff, temporary bridges or modular sea ports.
I see no issue here!
🤔
Israel has to stop killing civilians in Gaza!
Aiding terrorists
