Falcon powers – The U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) announced that the U.S. military has completed the construction of the floating port in Gaza. However, the current weather conditions do not allow for the safe transfer of the two-part facility to its designated location.
Deputy spokesperson for the Department of Defense, Sabrina Singh, stated to reporters, “Today, the construction of the floating port in Gaza has been completed in its two parts,” awaiting their transfer to the designated location off the coast of Gaza.
She added, “Today, the meteorological forecast still expects strong winds and high sea waves, which create unsafe conditions for the transfer of the components of the floating port. Therefore, the port sections and military ships involved in its construction remain in the port of Ashdod” in southern Israel.
She emphasized that the U.S. Central Command “is prepared to transfer the port to its location in the near future.”
On Friday, the U.S. military announced that it had relocated the construction site of the floating port to the Israeli port of Ashdod due to strong waves and winds.
Once the weather conditions become favorable, the floating port will be transported to its designated location off the coast of Gaza, and Israeli soldiers will install its floating dock along the Gaza Strip’s shoreline to keep U.S. soldiers away from its territory.
Subsequently, aid will be transported via commercial ships to a floating platform off the coast of Gaza, to be transferred to smaller vessels responsible for delivering them to the dock connected to the shoreline, and ultimately to land after being loaded onto trucks for distribution, according to “AFP.”
Experts, citing political sources and knowledgeable insiders, commented that this port was constructed in response to Netanyahu’s desire to depopulate the Gaza Strip by using boats and ships through this port, rather than for the humanitarian aid claimed by the Israeli occupation forces.
