    So, what problem does this pier solve?

    It gets aid to the border of Gaza. But once that aid is at the border it still needs to be loaded onto trucks and distributed by land.

    In contrast, we have been able to get aid to the border by land for decades.

    What is the problem that land based deliveries faced, that maritime based deliveries will not?

      Same as the last time. The US has been clear that no US boots will be on the ground in Gaza, so we will either: A) wag are finger and request an Israeli investigation if it appears the rocket came from Israel or B) issue a strongly worded statement condemming Hamas for the deliberate attack.
