British Foreign Minister David Cameron, in coordination with the United States, has announced plans to establish a temporary harbor in Gaza as part of a US-led plan to facilitate the delivery of aid through a maritime corridor. This initiative aims to alleviate the current blockade and is seen as a temporary measure until Israel agrees to open the port of Ashdod to aid shipments. The decision comes amid growing frustration over the difficulty in getting humanitarian relief into Gaza. In addition to the harbor project, Cameron has acknowledged an offer from the Israeli government to increase the number of trucks carrying lifesaving aid into Gaza by 100 trucks daily, which would boost aid deliveries by over 50%. This proposal, communicated by Alicia Kearns, who recently returned from Egypt, and Eylon A. Levy, the official spokesperson for the Government of Israel, is under consideration by the UK.
