The construction of the pier is extremely demanding not only from a logistical point of view, but above all because of safety. According to the Pentagon, the structure will have two parts, a floating platform made of steel segments and a 548-meter-long pier, also made of steel, that will lead to the mainland.
The military builds a pier at sea and pushes it inland so that American soldiers don’t have to go on land.

It is also a challenge from the point of view of safety. The port must be protected from invaders and hungry civilians. About a thousand American soldiers should participate in the operation of the temporary port. The Israeli military said on Thursday that gunmen from the terrorist group Hamas fired grenade launchers on Wednesday at one of the jetties, which is already in operation and through which humanitarian aid is already flowing.
The U.S. military has built similar temporary ports in the past in Kuwait, Somalia, Haiti, and Central America to help with natural disasters. Earlier examples of floating ports were used during the Second World War after the Allied troops landed in Normandy.

Talks on brokering a ceasefire and releasing hostages are expected to resume on Friday. Israeli negotiators will meet with Egyptian mediators, writes Ha’arec. Talks have stalled for the past few weeks.
Egypt is particularly interested in reaching a ceasefire agreement, among other things, because it would halt preparations for a ground offensive by the Israeli army into Rafah, a city in the southern Gaza Strip near the Egyptian border where 1.4 million people are hiding from the fighting, Haaretz noted. Cairo fears that the invasion of Rafah could lead to a breach of the borders and an exodus of these residents to the Sinai Peninsula. According to Egypt, such a development would threaten not only its own national security, but also a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
