President Joe Biden will announce in his State of the Union address that he’s directing the military to build a port on the Gaza coast to bring relief to the population there.
His move comes as Democrats unhappy with his handling of humanitarian crisis caused by the Israeli-Hamas war have been voting ‘uncommitted’ in Democratic primaries.
‘The President will announce that he’s directing the US military to lead an emergency mission to establish a port in the Mediterranean on the Gaza coast that can receive large ships carrying food, water medicine, and temporary shelters,’ a senior administration official said on a briefing call with reporters on Thursday.
