Even Biden Fans Say Bizarre Gaza Pier Plan Is A ‘Floating Abbey Gate’

Some of President Joe Biden’s biggest supporters in the media criticized his new plan to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza on Wednesday.

The Biden administration plans to deploy naval vessels to the Mediterranean Sea to build an offshore pier that can be floated over to Gaza and receive aid shipments via a maritime corridor. Pod Save the World, a traditionally left-leaning podcast that often advocates for Biden, warned on Wednesday it could turn into another “Abbey Gate” — referring to the botched U.S. Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021 that ended in the deaths of 13 U.S. troops — because Hamas operatives on the shores of Gaza might disrupt the aid operation.
