"Biden Orders Emergency US Military Mission to Construct Gaza Pier for Aid Delivery"
TL;DR
President Biden will announce an "emergency" military mission to construct a port off Gaza's coast in the Mediterranean Sea during his State of the Union address, aiming to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid. The port will be able to receive large ships carrying essential supplies, and the effort will be undertaken by the U.S. and partner countries. The operation will not require American troops to be on the ground, and initial shipments of aid will arrive via Cyprus. The U.S. continues to push Israel to allow more aid into Gaza by land, while also pursuing every channel possible to get assistance into the region.
