    Israel already blocks all ship based access to Gaza. Building a port won’t change this

      I double dog dare Israel to try and stop a US Navy relief mission.

      It does make one wonder why they didn’t just land at Gaza’s actual seaport.

      Entirely possible you just can’t anymore.

      But having the US navy run it might. Essentially, it becomes a question of who blinks first. Humanitarian organizations run away scared when the regional power starts dropping bombs and shhoting at them; and Israel knows it.

      Picking a fight wirh the US military is a much bigger deal. This is why the US response to conflicts is often just “send in an aircraft carrier to float around near the issue”
