Biden foolishly announced in March during his State of the Union Address that the US would build a floating pier to assist in bringing humanitarian assistance into Gaza. No one asked for the pier. Biden assured that no US boots would be on the ground in Gaza, despite the construction being done by the US military. The White House said the IDF would be responsible for securing the pier while simultaneously prosecuting a just war to defeat a terrorist army. The nonsensical upside-down Biden approach to Gaza was further highlighted during the maiden delivery of aid across the pier into Gaza. Of the nearly 600 tons of food rolled off the newly-built pier on May 18, neary 75% of it was looted before it could reach the UN’s warehouse only eight miles away. To add insult to injury, Biden’s $320 million pier broke away from its moorings and ships sent to retrieve it were beached in the Israeli city of Ashdod. It has proven an unmitigated disaster. No one in Rafah benefited.
Why else is Biden so adamant that the IDF cannot proceed further into Rafah? What other humiliations is America hoping to keep under wraps?
Recently, following Israel’s successful surgical strike in Rafah to eliminate two terrorist masterminds, a humanitarian safe area caught fire and several civilians were killed. Hamas’s publicity hacks blamed Israel's strike. The IDF undertook an investigation which uncovered that the fire ignited over 1.7 kilometers from the IDF strike and was not caused by their action. Rather there was an ordnance storage facility in Rafah abutting the humanitarian zone and there were explosions in the stockpile that caused the fire. Hamas purposely stored highly combustible ammunition alongside a humanitarian zone for civilians.
The ordnance themselves were quite interesting. It turns out many were US-manufactured munitions that had been sold to Egypt. With Israel now in control over the entire Gaza-Egypt border area, it is all but certain that more evidence of Egyptian smuggling of American-made weapons and possible collusion with Hamas will unfold. What will happen to the US-Egypt relationship as a result?
The IDF operation in Rafah is bound to turn up mountains of evidence of more money changing hands.
What is becoming obvious is that there were a lot of reasons for Egypt and America to want Israel to remain outside of Rafah. The secrets that will be revealed through the IDF’s operations may well surprise the civilized world as Israel fights to defeat the barbarians.
