Thursday was the day when Vice President Joe Biden made the announcement that he had requested that the United States military construct a temporary port off the coast of the Gaza Strip.
In light of the fact that officials from the United Nations and the United States have warned that Palestinian civilians who are trapped by the Israel-Hamas war will soon suffer from hunger, this is a part of an international initiative to construct a sea route to transport food and other relief.
I have given the United States military the directive to lead an emergency expedition to create a temporary port in the Mediterranean Sea off the shore of Gaza. This port will be able to accommodate huge ships that are transporting necessities such as food, water, and medication. There won’t be any American soldiers or boots on the ground. Having a temporary port would make it possible for a significant increase in the amount of humanitarian supplies that is brought into Gaza on a daily basis.
A further broadening of the United States’ engagement in the crisis, as well as an escalation of tensions and combat in the region, is indicated by the announcement.It is also a sign that the administration of President Biden is using an unusual solution to send aid to the 2.3 million people living in Gaza. This is happening at the same time that the administration is dealing with restrictions that the United States’ ally Israel has placed on ground aid shipments, as well as growing criticism of Washington itself regarding the way the conflict is being handled.
On the other hand, it seems that the hopes of a ceasefire occurring before the month of Ramadan, which begins on March 10, have significantly diminished. In a statement released on Thursday, Hamas stated that its delegation had left Cairo, the location where the talks were conducted. There was a plan to provide aid to the Gaza Strip that was included in the framework for the truce.
As a result of Israel’s tight control of assistance vehicles and the humanitarian crisis that has been spreading across Gaza over the course of five months of war, practically the whole population is suffering from severe food shortages, according to officials from the United Nations. The previous week, health workers in northern Gaza claimed that 15 children had died from malnutrition there, and another six children were on the verge of death.
Samantha Power, the director of the United States Agency for International Development, warned that the blockaded population of Gaza “faces a real risk of starvation” at a meeting with the Israeli ambassador in Washington, according to a statement released by her office on Thursday.
Israeli officials have asserted that Hamas is in possession of a portion of the humanitarian aid.
Those from the United States government who spoke on the condition of anonymity stated that the operation that is planned to construct the temporary port does not include sending US troops to the ground in order to carry it out. It is the intention of the construction of the temporary port to make it easier to transport additional food aid, medication, and other necessities from a port in Cyprus that is located in the Mediterranean.
The officials from the United States have stated that it may take many weeks before the temporary port is operational.
The deployment of a floating platform known as JLOTS by the military is one of the alternatives that are being evaluated, according to another official from the United States who spoke on the condition of anonymity. When there is a huge floating port, there is no longer a requirement to station troops along the coast. It is possible for ships to cruise to the wharf, which can be locked down with anchors, and then anchor there.
In a statement released on Thursday, the spokesman for the Department of Defense, Major General Pat Ryder, stated that the United States government and its foreign partners were contemplating a variety of solutions, one of which was the utilization of commercial organizations and contractors to assist in the delivery of the temporary port.
There are already negotiations and preparations taking place between officials from the United States of America, Europe, Israel, and the Middle East over the prospect of opening a sea route for the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
The 7th of March, Washington, DC (Reuters) – A temporary port will be constructed by the United States military on Gaza’s Mediterranean shore in order to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian goods via sea, as stated by President Joe Biden in his State of the Union address on Thursday.
When planning for the operation, which will initially be located on the island of Cyprus, there is no intention of deploying military soldiers from the United States to Gaza.
In light of the heavy toll that Israel’s offensive in Gaza has taken on residents in the Palestinian enclave since October 7, Vice President Biden made his announcement at a time when he is attempting to calm the wrath that has been building up among many members of his respective Democratic Party.
Hamas is delaying a new arrangement with Israel on a six-week ceasefire and the release of hostages, according to senior administration officials who had briefed media on the plan prior to the address. This is due to the fact that the Islamists who run Gaza have not agreed to release sick and old detainees.
An official stated that the agreement “is on the table now and has been for more than the past week,” referring to the fact that negotiations in Egypt had been deadlocked for more than a week. The official also stated that the temporary truce was necessary “to bring immediate relief to the people of Gaza.”
It was Israel’s refusal to comply with Hamas’ demands that it cease its onslaught and remove its forces that led to the impasse, according to Hamas.
After nearly five months of conflict between Israeli troops and Hamas, Vice President Biden made the decision to approve the construction of the temporary port. This decision occurred in the midst of warnings from the United Nations that the 2.3 million Palestinians living in the enclave were at risk of widespread hunger.
As a result of the intensive Israeli bombardments and fighting that were sparked by Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7, large portions of Gaza have been devastated, and the majority of the population has been forced to relocate.
Israel claims that the incursion carried out by Hamas resulted in the deaths of 1,200 people and the kidnapping of 253 hostages.
There have been around 30,000 Palestinians slain, according to Biden, who stated this in his address. “Most of whom are not members of Hamas,” he continued. “Thousands and thousands are innocent women and children.”
For the purpose of receiving ships carrying food, water, medicine, and temporary shelters, Vice President Biden informed Congress that he was directing the United States military to spearhead an emergency mission to establish a “temporary pier” on the shore of Gaza if one were to be established.
“No U.S. boots will be on the ground,” he said additionally.
It has been said by the officials that the United States government will collaborate with European and regional partners and allies in order to establish a worldwide coalition of nations that will provide capabilities and funding.
An official from Israel stated that Israel “fully supports the deployment of a temporary dock” on the shore of Gaza, adding that the operation will be carried out “with full coordination between the two parties.”
In her capacity as the United Nations‘ humanitarian and reconstruction coordinator for Gaza, Sigrid Kaag expressed her satisfaction with the United States’ decision to assist Cyprus in its attempt to establish a sea corridor for the purpose of delivering goods to Gaza.
“This is welcome to us. At the same time, I cannot help but reiterate that air and water are not a substitute for land, and nobody argues differently,” Kaag said to reporters earlier on Thursday, after he had briefed the United Nations Security Council behind closed doors.
The assistance that is being brought into Gaza is still insufficient, according to one of the officials from the United States, despite the fact that Israel is increasing the number of aid-carrying vehicles that are permitted to enter Gaza and that the United States and other nations have been airdropping those items.
According to the official, “We are not waiting for the Israelis” to allow additional help to enter the country. “This is a moment for American leadership.”
Officials in Gaza would collaborate with the United Nations and other humanitarian aid organizations that “understand the distribution of assistance within Gaza,” according to the official. The temporary port would also increase the amount of humanitarian assistance that is provided to Palestinians.
