Washington - Ma'an - The US Army announced the end of the mission of the floating dock it built off the coast of the Gaza Strip, under the pretext of delivering aid to the Strip, noting that "the aid will be transported via ships sailing from Cyprus to the port of Ashdod." According to Bradley Cooper, deputy commander of the US Central Command, the aid that reaches Ashdod 'will then be transported by truck through northern Gaza,' noting that the Israeli occupation controls the crossings and deliberately prevents the required aid from reaching the Strip, as part of the war of starvation and genocide that it is waging against its people. Cooper claimed that 'the platform achieved its goal of increasing the volume of aid to Gaza and ensuring its arrival,' but his statement came only days after US President Joe Biden expressed his 'disappointment with the platform's failure to deliver aid to the Strip,' wishing it had been 'more effective.' It is noteworthy that the announcement of the end of the mission of th e temporary dock off the coast of the Gaza Strip comes after it was exposed to difficult weather conditions, which led to parts of it being washed away, and the escalation of criticism against it due to its failure to deliver aid and provide humanitarian cover for American support for Israeli crimes.
