"Biden Administration's Emergency Military Mission to Build Gaza Pier for Aid Delivery Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict"

President Biden announced plans for the U.S. military to build a floating pier off Gaza to allow aid to be delivered by sea, as negotiations for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas stall. The war in Gaza has created a crisis for President Biden, who is under pressure to alleviate the suffering in Gaza while navigating wider Middle East emergencies. South Africa has asked the International Court of Justice to issue emergency orders for Israel to stop what it called "genocidal starvation" of the Palestinian people. The International Monetary Fund has agreed to more than double a bailout package for Egypt, which is going through its worst economic crisis in decades, exacerbated by the war in Gaza and Ukraine.
