‘Smokescreen’. Officials voice concern over US plans for Gaza aid pier

Jonathan Cook: “Biden’s two-month project to build a pier for Gaza – while the population starves – is likely to make aid delivery worse, it is now revealed.

Not only is Israel insisting that it inspect (meaning delay) aid before it can be loaded on to ships in Cyprus. It’s also now insisting the pier not be located in northern Gaza, where the devastation caused by Israeli bombing has made it all but impossible to transport aid.

Worse, Israel is demanding that the ships unload at its military occupation zone in central Gaza, where the aid will be inspected (meaning delayed) once more.

So Biden has not only wasted two months through his inaction but actually given Israel a chance to create more obstacles to aid reaching the starving people of Gaza.

A win-win for those supporting the genocide in Gaza.”
