Israel has committed to help protect US troops who are traveling to the eastern Mediterranean to build and operate a floating dock and causeway that will be used to transport humanitarian aid to Gaza, as confirmed by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown on Thursday.
Concerns have been raised by Republican senators regarding the safety of the approximately 1,000 US personnel involved in the construction of the pier, which will be located off the coast of Gaza and could be a potential target for terror groups like Hamas and Palestine Islamic Jihad.
