In today's RS I talk to military experts who said their 'Spidey sense" is tingling over this plan to build a pier and causeway to surge aid into Gaza. With a dearth of details and lack of DoD interest in talking about whether troops -- and Palestinians -- might be at risk, the project is raising hackles over its glaring potential for mission creep. Not to mention the gaping, 'why?'
“Biden is committing the United States military to conducting a highly complex, very expensive, low-production operation to bring food into the strip — when Biden could massively increase the amount of food into the strip with far less effort or expense: demand that Israel merely open the damn gates and roll the hundreds of trucks awaiting entry right now," Daniel Davis tells me.
Interestingly there are private contractors in line already to put a "non-military" face on the actual delivery, and surprise, they are all recently retired US special forces and Marines.
All the best,
