Palestinian figures expressed doubts about the existence of other goals for the floating dock that the Americans began construction nearly two months ago, especially with the beginning of the flow of aid through it off the coast of the Gaza Strip.

While the director of the government media office in Gaza, Ismail Al-Thawabta, confirmed that there was no coordination with any government agency regarding the sea pier, he expressed his welcome of all forms of assistance provided. reach the Strip, indicating that no party will be prevented from doing so in light of the horrific humanitarian conditions caused by the war for approximately 2.3 million Palestinians in the narrow coastal strip.
 
But Al-Thawabteh questioned the American intentions behind the construction of the pier “because it (the United States) is fully engaged in genocide against the Palestinian people and is supplying the Israeli occupation with 200,000 bombs so that the Palestinians are victims of American weapons.”
He said: “We welcome the aid and the presence of a sea corridor for Gaza with the world, but we have great and many fears and distrust of the United States, because if it has… In a desire to support us, it is better to put pressure on the occupation to reopen 11 crossings with Gaza.”
He added: “Gaza needs a thousand daily aid trucks.” To stop starvation and provide for the needs of the displaced during the war, and this crossing will provide little, so it is quicker to open the crossings.” Al-Thawabta pointed out that the sea pier “may be a prelude to a displacement process in which the American administration contributes to the benefit of Israel,” stressing the necessity of opening the crossings for aid and individuals in light of the presence of 22,000 injured and sick people who need to travel for treatment outside the Gaza Strip.
– Future displacement and control of gas
In turn, he stressed Political analyst Ahed Farwaneh said that no Palestinian has any doubt that Israel is looking for a means through which it can implement its “real and strategic” goal. Who is behind the war, which is the displacement of Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip.
While Farwaneh explains that resorting to a sea corridor is usually in light of the impossibility of using land corridors, but in the case of the Gaza Strip " “There are smooth and easy crossings that only need an Israeli decision to restore them,” he said, saying that this confirms that this step, which cost the American administration $320 million, cannot be limited to humanitarian goals only.
< p>He pointed out that doubts extend to control over gas sources in the Mediterranean, as well as strengthening Israel’s attempts to remove its hand from civil responsibility towards the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in order to maintain its military and security control without any costs. Farwana said: “The occupation insists on disclaiming its civil responsibility and maintaining its military responsibility, and therefore it is tending not to operate its crossings with Gaza regularly and resorting to international bodies and a sea corridor so that the world is responsible for providing the Gazans’ life requirements and not Israel.” He added: “We do not forget the goals of separating Gaza from the Palestinian entity in the West Bank, which is a primary goal of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to thwart any political project to establish a Palestinian state, by removing any official Palestinian presence in the Strip and placing its responsibility on an international administration.” Farwana considered that the location of the pier opposite the military base that the Israeli army is establishing and constantly expanding to isolate the north of the Gaza Strip from its south, reflects the possibility of prolonging the war and strengthening Israel’s military presence in Gaza. For his part, citizen Musaad Shamlikh, who was displaced from the same area in which the sea pier was built in Gaza City to the Nuseirat camp in the center of the Strip, considers that the people of Gaza are in dire need of all the assistance that can be reached during this stage from any side and by any land, sea or air means, with the continuation of The brutal Israeli war that claimed the lives of more than 35 thousand Palestinians. While Shamlakh believes that the aid that began arriving on Thursday, via the sea pier, could slightly alleviate the needs of the displaced, which increased after Israel closed the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings, due to military operations in Rafah more than 10 days ago, he also believes that what follows From America and its ally Israel “should be a subject of suspicion and apprehension.” Shamlikh told the Arab World News Agency (AWP): “Great Palestinian vigilance is required, because America is participating with Israel in the war against us and is providing it with all forms of support, and certainly this port will be part of this support. As for talking about the humanitarian dimensions, it seems unreal despite our need for it.” The Hamas movement said in a statement that any route for bringing in aid, including the sea pier, is not sufficient to meet humanitarian needs, and will not be an alternative to opening all land crossings under Palestinian supervision. Many ships were seen in the area where the pier was located off the coast of Gaza City and the military zone that was launched by the Israeli army, to separate the center and south of the Gaza Strip and between Gaza City and the north of the Gaza Strip. The United Nations had begun receiving aid coming through the sea pier and transporting it in trucks to its warehouses in Khan Yunis, after coordinating with the Israeli army to allow the empty trucks to move from the south of the Gaza Strip to its north and return them loaded to the south. The opening of the floating dock, at a cost of $320 million, represents the first major use of a sea route aimed at delivering aid to the residents of Gaza since the outbreak of the Israeli war on the Strip, as it requires the efforts of hundreds of soldiers, many ships, and a mission supported by humanitarian organizations and many countries.
