This whole plan is simply crazy and makes no sense as an aid delivery plan.

There is more than enough capacity to ship aid through ground routes in Israel.

The Biden Administration seems to want to circumvent Israeli scrutiny of the aid delivery process. They are probably setting up a plan to evacuate Hamas fighters from the Gaza via the US opened sea route so the terrorists can exit the region without Israeli involvement.

This suggests that a Biden Admin US brokered and enabled evacuation of the remaining Hamas leadership and terrorists is in the works

A politically perfect plan - Israel is happy because Hamas is gone and Biden is happy because the Hamas loving Democrat base will be mollified and the swing state of Michigan will be secured - possibly by the added votes of the new arrival Hamas terrorists in Dearborn. .

Building a Decent Gaza

by Daniel Pipes
Middle East Quarterly

(Snip)
Conclusion

Israel can reasonably expect to find a substantial cohort of Gazans ready to work with it to establish a new authority in Gaza that begins to return them to normal life. These Gazans will take on a wide range of tasks: policing, utilities, municipal services, administration, communications, teaching, urban planning, and so on.

While this may sound like wishful thinking, it bears recalling that Gazans not that long ago led decent lives under Israeli rule. Gaza and the West Bank in the 1970s, recounts historian Efraim Karsh, “constituted the fourth fastest-growing economy in the world—ahead of such ‘wonders’ as Singapore, Hong Kong, and Korea, and substantially ahead of Israel itself.” Medicine, electricity, schools, literacy—all flourished. Gazans benefited from refrigerators, clean running water, and much else. Gazans are not immune to the charms of normal life.

Unfortunately, Israel failed to cultivate relations with relatively friendly Gazans and lacked decent Gazan partners in its first period of rule, 1967-2005. Then, in an act of historic stupidity, it handed the territory to the genocidal Yasir Arafat. In a further mistake, it not only permitted the even more horrific Hamas to control Gaza after 2007 but encouraged external funders such as Qatar.

Call the new entity the Revitalized Palestinian Authority if you like, but it must have no connection whatsoever to the execrable Palestinian Authority that rules parts of the West Bank. Nor should Arab or international bodies take part in its administration.

Decent Gaza means tough Israeli military rule overseeing a tough police state along the lines of what exists in Egypt and Jordan, countries where one can lead a normal life so long as one stays out of trouble and never, ever criticizes the ruler. Gaza can become decent, not at war with its neighbor and economically viable. Will Israelis have the acumen and stamina to make this happen? Can they retrieve something positive out of tragedy?
