Israel already blocks all ship based access to Gaza. Building a port won't change this
I double dog dare Israel to try and stop a US Navy relief mission.
It does make one wonder why they didn't just land at Gaza's actual seaport.
Entirely possible you just can't anymore.
They shoot their own hostages in what seems like remenants or revival of the hanibal directive. It'd be foolish to assume they wont bite the hand that feeds, especially when they get away with everything they do. Why would Israel expect consequences?
Never get involved in a land war in Asia, never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line, and never fuck with AMERICA'S BOATS!
They won't fuck with any US flagged boat for sure. But any other flags? They will get refused, and if they dock anyway they will get captured or sunk
That is a crazy event in history.
But having the US navy run it might. Essentially, it becomes a question of who blinks first. Humanitarian organizations run away scared when the regional power starts dropping bombs and shhoting at them; and Israel knows it.
Picking a fight wirh the US military is a much bigger deal. This is why the US response to conflicts is often just "send in an aircraft carrier to float around near the issue"
