The United States, under the leadership of President Biden, with the support of @POTUS, @ABZayed, and @SecBlinken, has announced plans to construct a temporary port to facilitate the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza from Cyprus. This significant move, which involves building a floating dock off the Gaza coast expected to take 30-60 days to complete, has garnered support from Israel and aims to address the urgent need for aid in the region, where people are already starving. The initiative involves offloading aid onto a US ship and then transferring it to Gaza via a causeway. Despite the innovative approach, concerns have been raised over the continued inspection of goods by Israel, a key holdup in the past. Senior officials from both the US and Israel have discussed the initiative, expected to make a qualitative and quantitative leap in the provision of humanitarian supplies and food.

My take on President Biden's plan to open a sea port in Gaza to deliver aid. Better than nothing, but what he needs to do is use his leverage to pressure Israel to facilitate more aid by truck. The point of having leverage is to use it. https://t.co/ciCOaOFOVI

I welcome President Biden’s decision to establish an emergency port on the Gaza coast to get large amounts of humanitarian aid delivered directly to the people of Gaza. But LET'S BE CLEAR about why this extraordinary step is necessary in the first place: https://t.co/8yftm6TqpX

International focus should be on large-scale distribution and entry of humanitarian aid into #Gaza by land, but any way to deliver more aid is “obviously good,” the #UnitedNations says after the US announced plans to build a sea port. https://t.co/Pk09H42MAr
The announcement that the U.S. will build a temporary floating dock in Gaza is a mammoth step in expanding humanitarian aid delivery channels and mechanisms in the Strip. It will have a transformative impact if implemented effectively. It’s also a historic development because it…
On Biden’s plan for a temporary Gaza port: 1. It’s a humiliating/outrageous admission: US simply can’t get Israel to open land routes 2. It’s going to take 30-60 days to build — but people are already starving 3. Israel will still inspect goods — a key holdup for trucks
The U.S. will build a floating dock in Gaza to help with seaborne aid delivery, facilitating a qualitative/quantitative leap in the provision of humanitarian supplies & food. Thank you @POTUS, @ABZayed, @SecBlinken & all those working behind the scenes to make major action happen https://t.co/OVGlJc0Yem

According to Barak Ravid, US is going to build a temporary port, aid going from Cyprus to Gaza. It will offload on a US ship and then a causeway will be built for the trucks to drive to Gaza. But US people won't set foot on Gaza to finish the causeway. It's a causeway miracle!
