The U.S. Military Is Headed to Gaza

During his State of the Union address Thursday night, President Joe Biden will reportedly announce an order for the U.S. military to build a port in the Gaza Strip for delivery of humanitarian aid. The move comes as Iranian backed terrorist organization Hamas, which started the war against Israel on October 7, continues to steal aid trucks sent into the area by Israel, Jordan and other countries. Hamas is still holding more than 100 hostages, including six Americans.

BREAKING: Biden will announce at his “State of the Union” speech that he ordered the U.S. military to conduct an “emergency mission” to establish a temporary port in Gaza that would open up a maritime route for humanitarian assistance from Cyprus, U.S. officials said

This is a huge military undertaking for the U.S., fraught with risks at sea & at delivery in #Gaza -- and it's a step being taken to effectively break a siege enforced not by an enemy, but an ally.

Last week the administration announced U.S. military airdrops of aid into the Gaza Strip and essentially admitted it would be stolen by Hamas.

"Can you talk about how the U.S. ensures that the airdropped aid gets to the people who needs it and doesn't end up in the hands of Hamas?" a reporter asked during the daily briefing.

"I know that we will learn from the first airdrops and this will be a part of a sustained effort. This isn't going to be one and done. There will be additional airdrops planned and executed. And with each one, I think we'll learn more, and we'll get -- we'll get better at them. It's very difficult. It is extremely difficult to do an airdrop in such a crowded environment, as is Gaza," National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said. "The Pentagon will be doing a raft of planning on this. They'll work their way through that. But I do want to stress that we fully expect that the -- the third and fourth and fifth one won't look like the first and second one. We’ll learn and we’ll -- and we’ll try to improve."

After evaluating 50hrs of video, 5K photos & first-hand accounts, UN concluded:

❌Hamas committed war crimes on 10/7
❌Hamas systematically raped Israelis
❌Hamas raped hostages
❌Hamas is STILL raping hostages

No country should ever accept this.
