GOP lawmakers are proposing amendments to multiple defense bills to block U.S. funding for the Gaza pier project. The amendments are part of the fiscal 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and aim to prevent any Pentagon funding from going into the project. Critics argue that the project is costly and risks pulling American troops into combat. The Biden administration's Gaza pier project has come under scrutiny following Israel's use of a nearby military 'safe' zone to rescue hostages and other infrastructure challenges. Additionally, the U.S. State Department has sanctioned an Israeli group called Tzav 9, accused of blocking and ransacking humanitarian aid for Gaza.
