The Israeli navy is heling the US recover ships that stabilized President Biden's $320 million pier

Aid began flowing into the Gaza Strip from southern Israel on Sunday, after a U.S.-made "floating pier" on the Mediterranean Sea was damaged by weather.

The new aid deployment is flowing through southern Israel due to disagreements with Egypt. The IDF has taken over the Gaza side of the Rafah crossing, which has typically been used for transporting aid throughout the conflict.

Egypt closed its side of the border when Israel took control of the Gazan side of the crossing, and says it will not reopen it until Palestinians are granted control.

Someone please explain to me why the U.S. Army is in charge of a salt water marine docking structure. What kind of idiocy is this?

[Libloather]

...damaged by weather.

Almost - biblical.

Hamass is still receiving aid from the US?

[Paladin2]

That’s a pretty small pier for ?330 Mil.

That’s a pretty small pier for $330 Mil.

[Jeff Chandler]

That 330 Mil passes through a lot of hands.

[Jeff Chandler]

Salt water?

[HYPOCRACY]

Hamas = weather

[Dr. Franklin]

Salt water?

The Mediterrean Sea is a sea and has salt water.

That’s a pretty small pier for $330 Mil.

Once biden takes his, it’s only $297 million.

The IDF has taken over the Gaza side of the Rafah crossing, which has typically been used for transporting aid throughout the conflict.

This "aid" from Egypt included arms and munitions for Hamas.

Climate change!

Secretary of Transportation Buttigieg just spent 7.5 Billion Dollars to build 15 electric vehicle charging stations over three years.

By those standards, 330 millions buck for that pier is a smokin’ deal.

[Jeff Chandler]

For some reason I thought it was on the Jordan.

[Paladin2]

Indeed.

Army idiocy. The Army has a lot of ships for logistics but recently discovered they would have a problem with contested logistics. They seem to lack ships with large guns. The Army is equipped for peacetime logistics.
