(Washington = Yonhap News) Reporter Kang Byeong-cheol = US President Joe Biden ordered the US military on the 7th (local time) to build a temporary port on the coast of Gaza to expand humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
Port construction will be done off the coast of Gaza, and US troops will not be stationed on land in the Gaza Strip, a battleground between Israel and Hamas.
President Biden plans to unveil this plan in his State of the Union address to Congress tonight, the White House National Security Council (NSC) said in a preliminary briefing.
A senior official said, “President Biden is expected to announce in his State of the Union address today that he has directed the US military to conduct an emergency mission to build a port in the Gaza Strip,” adding, “The port is in the A temporary dock form will receive hundreds of truckloads of support each day.” “We will provide it to you,” the AFP news agency reported.
The construction of the temporary port is expected to take several weeks and could include the establishment of a maritime support corridor starting from Cyprus, the White House said.
The White House explained that during the construction of the port, the location of US forces will be off the coast of Gaza.
Another officer explained, “This operation does not require US troops to set foot on land. The US military has special capabilities. They can carry out tasks at sea, and this is the concept of the operation that President Biden was briefed on.”
When the rescue truck disaster occurred in the Gaza Strip, President Biden announced on the 1st a plan to provide relief goods in an airdrop.
On this day, the United States, together with Jordan, carried out the third round of air support, dropping 38,000 food items into the Gaza Strip by airplanes.
When the US government announced its policy to provide humanitarian aid through airdrops, it said it was considering sea support as well as air support.
President Biden’s port construction instructions are analyzed as a result of this review.
President Biden, who is running for re-election in this November’s presidential election, is receiving criticism from Arab and Muslim Americans, as well as some progressives, for unilaterally supporting Israel’s retaliatory attack on the Gaza Strip following the raid Hamas.
For President Biden, resolving the differences in public sentiment among those confirmed in the Democratic primary in regions such as Michigan and Minnesota is considered a priority task for winning the presidential election.
