🇺🇸🇮🇱 ❌🇵🇸- Washington Post: US “aid” pier functional again

➡️ In late May, the pier was ripped apart by bad weather, causing an estimated $22 million in damage

➡️ The pier had been rendered inoperable before after an Israeli hostage-rescue operation on June 8 freed four hostages and left more than 250 Palestinians dead halting humanitarian efforts by the United Nations’ World Food Program, partly responsible for the distribution of aid arriving from the pier.

➡️ Israel announced a daily pause in combat operations earlier this week to facilitate the delivery of aid, but WFP Executive Director Cindy McCain told Al-Monitor in an interview Thursday that it made little difference.

“We haven’t been able to get in,” she said. “We’ve had to reroute some of our trucks. They’ve been looted. As you know, we’ve been shot at, and we’ve been rocketed. So far as we can tell, there’s no difference at all.”

➡️ Netanyahu said in a social media video this week that it was “inconceivable that in the past few months the [Biden] administration has been withholding weapons and ammunition to Israel.”

➡️ ❓ National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters Thursday that he was unaware the video was coming and called it “perplexing,” given the volume of U.S. military support to Israel. “It was vexing and disappointing to us as much as it was incorrect,” he said. “There’s no other country that’s done more but will continue to do more than the United States to help Israel defend itself.”
