Israel has continued to insist that there is no great need for more aid in Gaza, but that enough aid is entering it, its officials say, with larger quantities of food than before the war, as they claimed.
They add that the United Nations is responsible for not distributing it properly.
Good, President Joe Bidenit is amazing Gaza The port announcement is clearly a sign that the US isn't buying any of that.
This is the US government saying it will have to Send her army She is likely to be harmed to compensate for her ally's failure.
The Israelis said they welcomed the decision and would cooperate fully with it.
Aside from the fact that it shows some glaring shortcomings in its handling of the war, this is good news for Israel. All aid will be checked in Cyprus, so there is no need to worry about weapons smuggling.
It absolves Israel of its responsibilities to meet the humanitarian needs of the civilian population whose territories it occupies.
He is dragging America into this war – which means that when it ends perhaps the United States will assume a greater role in Gaza – something the Israelis would like to see.
But there are a lot of questions.
What other task will this lead to?

Israel insists on not imposing any restrictions on the entry of aid into Gaza
Or what happens if a Hamas rocket or a stray Israeli missile hits a group of American engineers and kills a few of them in an election year? The danger facing Joe Biden is clear.
Why is this necessary?
The Erez crossing on the northern border of Gaza remains idle.
It is possible that it will be opened tomorrow to allow aid to enter and disembark from the Israeli ports of Ashdod and Ashkelon, as well as from Cyprus. This will be safer and easier to pull off.

The decision seems desperate and ill-considered.
It is undoubtedly a big gamble for the American president, who will run in the elections against a man who sees votes in American isolation and withdrawal from foreign places.
Then, of course, the tragically obvious point: Americans are good at building military infrastructure but not quickly.
It will take weeks, and the starving poor in Gaza cannot afford to wait that long.
