Other than as a Biden political stunt I doubt the “port” means much. Most sources say it will be at least 2 months before it’s functional. If Israel goes forward with it’s intention to destroy Hamas most of it will be over by then. And with 3 crossings from Israel open, maybe even one from Egypt, the port won’t be needed. The real problem is destroying Hamas on the ground so aid can be distributed without Hamas interference. And if they’re not, the aid from the port will end up in Hamas combatants stomachs and for sale on the black market.
The whole idea is crazy.
there are ships in Cyprus waiting for the pier to be built in two to three months that could just as easily be sent to an Israeli port and transported by land a whole 40 miles to Gaza.
The pier either has a an undisclosed purpose or is simply a futile gesture media stunt showing the Biden Admin is actually doing something.
