President Biden will announce during his State of the Union address on Thursday that he’s directing the U.S. military to lead the construction of a port along the coast of Gaza on the Mediterranean Sea to boost the amount of aid getting to Palestinian civilians.
“We know the aid flowing into Gaza is nowhere near enough and nowhere near fast enough. The president will make clear again this evening that we all need to do more and the United States is doing more,” a senior administration official said on a call with reporters.
The port would be able to receive large ships that can bring in food, water, medicine and other supplies into Gaza, which has been under fire for months as Israeli forces carry out shellings and military operations in response to Hamas’ terrorist attacks last October.
Biden will direct the U.S. military to undertake the mission alongside allies and humanitarian partners, a senior administration official said. The project will take “a number of weeks to plan and execute,” and will involve forces already in the region or that will be there soon.

They could even unload an Iranian nuke, plus any other weapons they wanted to. That port will be nothing but a poison dagger aimed at the heart of Israel. Installing it will be a US declaration of war against Israel, to which we can expect a massive military response. I wonder how the Jewish Senator Schumer will react to this neo-Nazi move. After all, we were only able fully to support Operation Overlord after we installed or restored one or more deepwater ports on the English Channel and north thereof. The idea was definitely cooked up by a bunch of rabid anti-Semites in this hideous, bribed, traitorous administration, who want to get us into a shooting was with Israel.
If they could build a port this fast then they can build a wall this fast.
A port for Iranian arms and a hub for exporting drugs here!
He’s a puppet. Beelzebama in whiteface!
Funny that!
All supplies to Gaza have to go thru Israel for inspection. Israel won’t allow this
I applaud your cynicism. I did this stuff once - 5 decades ago. I was told that I was planning the first LOTS operation since the Korean war. A joint British/US task force pretended to do a landing/resupply op at Ft. Story, VA.
Much of it was rote. But I learned a lot, especially from the USMC whose special jigs, etc had not ever been assigned an FSN. [and damn, the Brits had discontinued their rum ration!]
On a tangent - I also remember the USS Liberty being attacked by Israeli air. Discussed this many times with Israeli officers attached to my unit - by then I was S3.
Uncomfortable conversations. And then I sat on my duffel bag next to a runway at Ft. Bragg during the Yom Kippur War, waiting to be detailed to set up a port to support the IDF.
My IDF acquaintances told me they were burning through all their munitions each day, expecting to be resupplied the next. I was < 30 days to ETS!
eFFJB.
No sense building anything new when we already possess two Expeditionary Transfer Docks such as the USNS Montford Point and USNS John Glenn...but we shall see...
Fixed it.
Biden is an idiot.
bibi should show him a middle finger.
Why would the US even consider this if Bibi didn’t agree?
