A floating pier being constructed by the U.S. military in Gaza as a means to deliver lifesaving humanitarian aid is estimated to cost $320 million.
The estimated cost was provided to Reuters by a U.S. Department of Defense official and a source close to the project, according to the outlet.
While the estimated cost has not previously been announced, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) told the outlet that “the cost has not just risen. It has exploded,” from an initial estimate.
Wicker questioned “how much” taxpayers would be “on the hook” for once the pier was finally constructed.
Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh informed reporters during a press conference on Monday that this was a “temporary solution” to get humanitarian aid to people in Gaza facing famine.

Great Moments in the History of Grift and Money Laundering.
There.
Of course it will be bombed and never completed. This is another payoff to somebody. Another bridge to nowhere.
Just great, we are resupplying HAMAS, yet not asking for American hostages to be released, nor holding them accountable for those killed, raped, and beheaded. Whose side are we on?
“ humanitarian aid ”
What a joke. These Palis produce nothing in the most corrupt region. They’ve been sucking up hundreds of billions of “aid” for decades and only have tunnels and arms to show for it. Their neighbors to the east show how a free country can prosper, yet they won’t adopt that model.
Exactly! It will become “The Pier of Death”
It will be a prime target for the Radical Hamas.
I’m so disgusted that we’re helping Hamas. The Biden administration is awful.

And they are doing all of this with our money. You and I are directly funding this!!
Just another shakedown of the American taxpayer.
With 300 million being kicked back to both houses and top military brass.
47% don’t care-no skin in the game.
Good correction!
The illegal aliens are pro-Hamas. They see them as freedom fighters. Just like themselves. When they finally get a motor vehicle to drive without license or insurance, they stick the flag of the narco shithole they came from under their rear view mirror to rub our faces in. We are some great people for sure.
The minute a weapon is found coming off that pier, Israel will destroy it.
While we're on the subject of bridges, is this more or less that the cost of repairing the Francis Scott Key bridge?
Any side bets on which project gets done first?
How many U.S. military lives? Why yes Virginia, we are fidiots!
Like with everything associated with Ukraine, this is a money laundering/skimming op. Democrats will fill their pockets in time for election.
When Trump wins the Key Bridge will be done in a year and Mexico will pay for it.
The Pali bridge will never be built. Should call it the Hamas Rocket Range.
