US President Joe Biden's announcement of building a floating port off the coast of Gaza to deliver aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip sparked widespread controversy among the audience on social media platforms about the purpose of the seaport.

Biden said that his country's army will build a temporary port on the coast of the Gaza Strip to deliver humanitarian aid by sea, and this is supposed to be done from the island of Cyprus after the aid is subjected to careful inspection by the Israeli occupation.

The ships will then take a route to the floating port, with Israeli protection, which is a platform in the Mediterranean Sea. Nearly a thousand American soldiers will work on building it, and construction will take about 60 days.

Last Saturday, the European Commission, the UAE, the United States, and Cyprus issued a joint statement regarding activating a sea corridor to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.

As these details spread, the audience on social media platforms began asking many questions about the purpose of the seaport, and the reason for this timing.

What is behind the American pier in Gaza??

- A soft naval attack “may” escalate.


- Miserable American election propaganda.


- Fear of the recent Turkish-Egyptian rapprochement.


- Preparing to close land ports and controlling this at sea.


– A pressure, bargaining and misleading card on Red Sea ships and operations.

Tweeters answered some questions based on their reading of the Israeli war on Gaza and America’s absolute support for Tel Aviv by saying that the idea of ​​establishing a floating seaport off the Gaza Strip expresses a consensual vision between the United States, Israel, and the UAE. Each of these parties has its own goals regarding this project, in addition to the general goals. that serve this axis.

Others added that the floating port gives Israel the ability to continue the war on Gaza, at multiple levels, and without time limits, and to achieve the second goal of the war after ending the rule of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), which is to dismantle the resistance forces, or weaken them to the point where they become unable to No field effect.

And here we have to ask a question????


Is there a relationship between the sea port, the invasion of Rafah, the occupation of the Philadelphia crossing, and the sale of Ras al-Hikma to the Emirates, which supports this sea corridor? And let us not forget the displacement and the clinging of the residents of the Gaza Strip to their land.


From these questions, we can create a complete narrative and vision about the Arab-American Jewish deception.

Bloggers pointed out that the stated goal of building the port was to deliver aid, but there are many bad and undeclared goals for the presence of the sea pier on the coast of Gaza.

Among them is finding an alternative to the Rafah crossing, which may be closed during the attack on Rafah, and that the American intelligence services and the Mossad will use the port to recruit agents for them and impose alternative authority for Hamas from the Gaza tribes, according to what one of them said.

America is covering up with humanity. With the Zionists, it supplies them with weapons and with the people of Gaza, it throws food parcels at them. And here it is covering up with humanity in the floating port on the Gaza Sea, to occupy Gaza and its oil, and to enable the Jews to do what it could not do with war. What insolence is this? America is the very antichrist. May the curse of God be upon me. America and its allies

Tweeters said that the floating port in Gaza, in addition to being a control point for smuggling weapons into Gaza, will also be a crossing point for the forced and voluntary displacement of Gazans to Cyprus, especially after the inability of Israel, America, and the West to displace them by force, hunger, and by all means, according to one of the tweeters.


The floating port in Gaza, in addition to being a control point for arms smuggling into Gaza, will also be a crossing point for the forced and voluntary displacement of Gazans to Cyprus, especially after the inability of Israel, America, the West, and the hypocritical Arabs and Muslims to displace the Gazans by force, hunger, and all barbaric methods.

They want to eliminate the role of UNRWA


and permanently close the crossings with Egypt, which is interested in this issue, in addition to making it a security base for them in Gaza and a center to protect their malicious plan.

Others believed that the goal of the port was to deliver a message to the Palestinian people sent by the countries participating in the project proposed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that Israel is not against the Palestinian people, but only against Hamas.

Some observers commented by saying that the main purpose is to plunder the oil and natural gas wealth, as there is a gas field in the sea, kilometers away from the Gaza coast.

Israeli media published a picture of Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in front of the shores of Gaza, in addition to his statement that the naval aid route will accelerate the collapse of Hamas’ rule and that they will ensure that the aid reaches only those who need it.

The exact location of the pier has not been determined, but estimates indicate that it will be built about 600 meters off the shores of Gaza, allowing cargo ships to approach it, as deep waters allow large ships to approach without threatening the safety of navigation.

Reuters published pictures of the "Open Arms" rescue ship, owned by a Spanish non-governmental organization, departing loaded with humanitarian aid to Gaza from the Cypriot port of Larnaca.
