The U.S. military is once again removing the Gaza pier due to poor weather, and there is no clear timeline on when it would be reanchored, the Pentagon confirmed Friday.
Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh said heavy seas and high winds forced the military to temporarily dismantle the pier and send it to the Israeli port city Ashdod. She did not say when it would come back online, amid speculation that it may not at all.
“When the commander decides that it’s the right time to reinstall that pier, we’ll keep you updated on that,” she said. “As we always said with the pier, it is meant to be temporary.
“It is not the long-term solution or solve for land routes; we know that’s the most effective way in,” Singh added. “But that’s really a decision the commander will make as we continue to evaluate the high seas states.”

The Gaza pier is a failure of the Biden Administration AND a failure of our sexual weirdo military.
Jeez, didn’t it cost $300 million ?
Thank the Lord that these DEI perverts, who constitute the bulk of our poorly-trained military forces, were not around in 1941...
By now with all the repairs and reinstalls, its got to be close to a billion.
These people could not have put a pontoon bridge across the Rhine in the spring of 1945.
a pier too far
Sounds like climate change beat them to it.
320 million$ and around another 20 to repair it.
Your Grandpa and my Dad saw some stuff, for sure. God bless them all.
Yes, he did. I’m no fan of his, either. He had many Republicans in his cabinet and in high positions to fight the war.
