Biden's Gaza Pier Project Fiasco: Broken Promises and Wasted Millions

The Biden administration's $320 million humanitarian aid pier project in Gaza has been met with widespread criticism after satellite images revealed the structure had fallen apart just days after its completion. Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan slammed the administration, saying that if this had happened on Trump's watch, "we would all be mocking and denouncing him."

The Biden administration's $320 million humanitarian aid pier project in Gaza has been deemed a colossal failure after satellite images revealed that the structure had collapsed just days after its completion. The pier, which was intended to provide a lifeline for residents in the besieged Gaza Strip, has been battered by choppy weather, leaving less than a third of its structure intact.

The collapse of the pier has been met with widespread criticism, with former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan slamming the Biden administration for its bungled handling of the project. Hasan, who left MSNBC last year after criticizing the network's Israel coverage, said that if this had happened on Trump's watch, "we would all be mocking and denouncing him."

The pier was built earlier this month as a temporary means to deliver aid to Palestinians after Israel began its invasion of Rafah, the Hamas stronghold. However, the structure proved to be flimsy and ill-equipped to withstand the choppy waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Pentagon confirmed that the pier had been used to transfer roughly 569 metric tons of aid into Gaza, but as of last week, none of that aid had been delivered to Palestinians. This has raised questions about the efficacy of the project and the competence of the Biden administration in handling such a critical humanitarian effort.

The White House has said that it is working to repair the pier, but has offered no timeline for when it will be fixed. The images show that a significant portion of the pier has been destroyed, making it likely that repairs will be extensive and time-consuming.

In the meantime, Gazans are left without the aid that the pier was intended to provide. The collapse of the structure has also raised concerns about the safety of the humanitarian workers who were to use it to deliver aid.

The Biden administration has been criticized for its handling of the Gaza conflict. The administration has been accused of being too slow to respond to the crisis and of failing to adequately address the humanitarian needs of Gazans.

The collapse of the pier is another black mark on the Biden administration's record in Gaza. The project was a high-profile initiative that was intended to demonstrate the administration's commitment to the Palestinian people. However, the failure of the pier has instead exposed the administration's lack of competence and its inability to effectively manage such a critical humanitarian effort.
