President Biden has announced that the U.S. will be sending aid to Gaza, including a ship to build a temporary pier for aid shipments amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. The aid efforts were expanded following tensions between Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu over the civilian deaths in Gaza.
The U.S. is set to lead a global effort to provide humanitarian assistance to Gaza, with the U.S. Army Vessel General Frank S. Besson departing for the Mediterranean to assist in the aid mission. The U.S. has already been airdropping food into Gaza, and the temporary pier will facilitate larger aid shipments.
There will be no “U.S. boots on the ground” as part of the mission, according to Biden. He has warned Netanyahu on the civilian deaths in Gaza and urged the protection of innocent civilians. Biden has also cautioned Netanyahu on his response to the Hamas attack in southern Israel.
In response to Biden’s comments, Netanyahu has denied pursuing policies against Israeli interests. The conflict between Israel and Hamas continues, with the U.S. stepping in to provide aid and mediation in hopes of de-escalating the situation.
The aid efforts come at a crucial time as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens. The U.S. aid ship’s arrival is eagerly awaited as it will provide much-needed support to the region. Stay tuned to Road Rug Cars for more updates on this developing situation.
