Biden To Make A Big Gaza Announcement At The SOTU
President Biden is taking action to help the people of Gaza with a historic humanitarian aid military mission.
President Joe Biden is directing the U.S. military to undertake an emergency mission to open a port on the coast of Gaza in order to ramp up aid deliveries to starving Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas war.
Biden will announce the mission, which senior Biden administration officials said would not involve putting U.S. troops on the ground in Gaza, during his State of the Union address on Thursday night.
The U.S. will work with “like-minded countries and humanitarian partners” to set up a temporary pier on the Gaza coast to allow shipments of aid — including food, water, medicine, and temporary shelters — into the country, officials said. The port will allow for “hundreds” more truckloads of aid to enter Gaza daily, one official said, but would take “a number of weeks” to set up.
People in Gaza are starving now. They don’t have weeks, so it is vital that the US accelerates airdrops and other forms of aid, but this is a major development. If Netanyahu will not listen to the United States on Gaza, then the US needs to lead the world in standing up for our humanitarian values.
