Israel to Provide Security for Gaza Pier Project
(Politico) Lara Seligman - Israel has agreed to provide security for the temporary pier the U.S. military is planning to build in Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid, according to two U.S. officials. The IDF will protect the U.S. personnel building the pier as well as the individuals involved in offloading and distributing the aid. The IDF would also be responsible for physically securing the pier to the beach. U.S. military personnel will construct a floating pier 3 to 5 miles off shore and a 1,800-foot floating causeway that will be anchored to the beach. Vessels will offload aid onto the pier, where small U.S. boats will then bring it to the causeway, where it will be taken to trucks and then distributed into Gaza.
