It's to make it a properly defensible location. You can't just drive a boat up to the beach when the nation's occupants want to shoot Americans, even the ones helping them. That is how you get dead Americans, a damaged boat, and no aid actually flowing.
They're doing it because voters in Michigan and to a lesser extent in other states are refusing to vote for Biden. This has very little to do with preventing Palestinian deaths.
And honestly this pier is absolutely unnecessary. Israel can simply open one of the north border crossings and allow humanitarian aid from there and allow more humanitarian aid.
Instead they are trying to discredit and defund the only agency on ground having the capacity to deliver this humanitarian aid inside Gaza (UNRWA).
The problem is that by the time they build it half of Gaza will be dead. This isn't like the Bengali famine or the Holodomor where food just went down, these people aren't getting food at all. I think it should be obvious that the progress from infants to adults dying will be a lot faster.
The floating port Joe Biden plans to build in an effort to deliver much needed humanitarian aid to Gaza could take up to 60 days to complete, according to the Pentagon.
The Pentagon presented the timeline on Friday in the wake of Mr Biden's State of the Union speech.
The port — intentional or not — will likely serve as an olive branch from Mr Biden's administration to Democratic voters who feel his staunch support of Israel is implicit approval of the civilian displacement and deaths caused by the Israeli Defence Forces.
"Rather than look to the US military to build a work-around, the US should insist on immediate humanitarian access using the roads and entry points that already exist."
Mr Ryder said the system should allow for the delivery of approximately 2 million meals every day to the people of Gaza.
Democrats have largely praised the move, thought it's unclear how far the structure will go to win back the support of leftwing party members who were shocked by Mr Biden's refusal to outright condemn the widespread civilian casualties caused by the IDF.
