Israel is fine with this. The aid will go to Cyprus where Israeli officials will inspect it before it goes to Gaza. Israel and Cyprus are partners in a major gas pipeline project to bring natgas to Europe so they are natural allies in this respect. They have cooperation in place.

But more than that, under the surface it means that there will be no serious pressure to relent in the pursuit of eliminating Hamas. The only real “objections” to the war are the civilian deaths and the humanitarian aid. Take the humanitarian aid issue off the table and Hamas loses half their PR propaganda. And watch how this plays out on the ground. The people will naturally gravitate towards the aid. But Israel controls the ground. So the civilians will move out of the way making room for Israel to make the last push onto Rafah and southern Gaza to eliminate Hamas and, find the hostages, and dismantle the tunnels and weapons caches.

That’s my read of the endgame. We’ll see how it plays out.

I hope it goes like that but I suspect the DC Politburo sees an opportunity to wipe out a large percentage of the world’s Jews here. 1000 troops on the ground is enough to reinforce HAMAS on the pretext of putting a military force wall between IDF and HAMAS to protect “the civilians” and then proceeding to engage the IDF with carrier planes and B-52s Biden will then regain the support of the Jihad, or will think he will, in America and get rid of those inconvenient Joos. The Jewish billionaires will support it all.

The Turks will undoubtedly send ‘aid’ to Gaza.

Highly unlikely that they will dock in Cyprus for inspection.

When they send their ‘aid’ armaments to Gaza, they will scream and shout about the West “denying humanitarian assistance”.

Israel will need to inspect maritime shipments into and out of Gaza. This adds a seaborne headache to Israel’s military planning.

Joe Bite-Me’s unilateral decision to build a ‘temporary port’ will blow up in our collective faces. It puts U.S. troops in harm’s way, expands a new front for Israel in the war, offers opportunities for malign actors (Lebanon/Hizb’allah, Turkey, Iran, Egypt, Russia, etc.) to resume arms shipments to hamas, and will provide propaganda material to the bad guys.

That’s my read. We’ll see how it plays out... ;)
