Israel-Gaza latest: US fighter jets strike Iran-linked locations in Syria; 'insane bureaucracy' blocking Gaza aid, UN says
SKY News ^ | October 27, 2023

Posted on 10/27/2023 4:24:56 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The US has launched retaliatory airstrikes on two locations in eastern Syria linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Pentagon has said. And "insane bureaucracy" at the Rafah crossing from Egypt into Gaza is slowing the delivery of aid to a "dribble", according to a UN official.

An "insane" amount of bureaucracy at the Rafah crossing from Egypt into Gaza is slowing the delivery of aid to a "dribble", the head of the UN's World Food Programme has said.

The number of lorries being allowed in is a fraction of that entering the territory before the conflict began.

The United States is leading negotiations with Israel, Egypt and the UN to try to create a sustained delivery mechanism.

While there have been limited deliveries of food, water and medicine since Saturday, no fuel has been allowed in.

That is because Israel is concerned about fuel deliveries being diverted to Hamas.

If no fuel is being allowed in, maybe the “insane bureaucracy” doesn’t want full tanks on the delivery trucks to be siphoned? Good. They brought this on. Deal with it.

Our troops in Iraq and Syria against the will of those govts are goats staked out in a field as bait to try to instigate WW3, IMHO.

World War 3. I say by November2. It’s beyond insanity what the current regime in DC is doing. We no longer can project our nations strength properly, due to a weak old man that was placed in the White House.

Maybe the UN should set up two or three committees to oversee the “insane bureaucracy” at the checkpoint. We’ll wait for their recommendations.

Instead of pressuring Israel into allowing supplies into a active war zone, why not pressure Egypt into allowing those that want to leave Gaza into Egypt where the humanitarian aid is?

The short answer is Egypt does not want them? Long answer is it is good propaganda to show the people in Gaza as “victims”.

Any aid going into Gaza will go to the terrorist first so why allow it?

Only insane bureaucracy is the u.n....what would happen to the u.n. is John Lennon’s song came true? They’d be out of a job licking the boots of their regional war-lord.

I’m having a hard time remembering when the Declaration of War against Syria was passed by Congress. Can you help me out?

Thanks,

CNN was reading a White House statement put out almost apologizing for blowing up some ammo storage place. The Iranians must be laughing at the Biden administration weakness.

Soon their plan will hatch and As greed, Iran will hit the US hard on US soil. The Uniparty will use the attacks to declare marshal law and drop the iron boot. The US and Iran are working together like the Republicans and Democrats work together in private.

We attack countries that attack us to let us know they don’t want our illegal occupation troops in their countries. 1000 here, 2500 there, nothing but hostages and or trip wires.
