Biden’s $320 Million Gaza Pier Removed From Area Again After Costly Repairs

President Joe Biden’s pier off the shore of Gaza experienced another blow this week and has to once again been relocated due to weather conditions.

The pier, which estimates have said costs up to $320 million, was forced offline late last month after it fell apart amid stormy sea conditions and sections of it washed up on the shoreline.

“Today, due to expected high seas, the temporary pier will be removed from its anchored position in Gaza and towed back to Ashdod, Israel,” said U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) in a statement. “The safety of our service members is a top priority and temporarily relocating the pier will prevent structural damage caused by the heightened sea state.”

“The decision to temporarily relocate the pier is not made lightly but is necessary to ensure the temporary pier can continue to deliver aid in the future,” the statement continued. “After the period of expected high seas, the pier will be rapidly re-anchored to the coast of Gaza and resume delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza. Since May 17, over 3,500 metric tons (7.7 million pounds) have been delivered through the maritime corridor for onward delivery by humanitarian organizations.”

Breitbart News correspondent Kristina Wong posted a video on X that showed how ineffective it was to operate Biden’s pier in the area given the sea conditions.

A significant portion of the aid that the U.S. has delivered to Gaza has been stolen while it’s being delivered from the pier to United Nations warehouse facilities.

The U.N. paused its work with the pier after Israel launched a daring rescue operation last weekend that resulted in four hostages being saved from Hamas.

Kate Middleton Shares Update On Battle Against Cancer

Kate Middleton said on Friday that she plans on participating in a parade tomorrow in celebrating the birthday of King Charles III, which marks her return to public life after announcing earlier this year that she was diagnosed with cancer.

The Princess of Wales made the announcement in a lengthy statement posted to social media where she reflected on her battle with cancer.

She said that she has been “blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement” that she and her family have received over the last few months, and that it’s made a difference during her low points.

“I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting,” she said. “But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.”

“My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months,” she continued. “On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.”

She said that in addition to joining the King’s Birthday Parade on Saturday, she hopes to engage in other public engagements over the summer.

“I am not out of the woods yet,” she added. “I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.”

She announced her cancer diagnosis in a video back in March where she revealed that she had recently undergone “major abdominal surgery.”

“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” she added. “The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.”

“My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment,” Middleton continued. “This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”
