During his State of the Union address, President Biden pledged millions (if not billions) of dollars in support to Gaza. Echoing other Democrats, he accused Israel of depriving Palestinians of aid—despite convoys from Israel being attacked by Hamas.

Groups including the U.S., UAE, France, and the World Central Kitchen have sent literal tons of food and supplies to the region.

And if Biden has his way, even more money will be spent to aid Gaza—which is controlled by terror network Hamas. Even as Biden takes a victory lap over his pledge, word is coming out over just how poorly planned aid-sending has been.

From Fox News:
As the U.S. leads a united effort with other nations and international agencies aimed at getting more aid into the war-torn Gaza Strip, critics say the aid coordination is a mess and convoys are being attacked, with the bulk of what is being sent not even reaching the most vulnerable…

Wes J. Bryant, a retired master sergeant and senior special operations joint terminal attack controller (JTAC) in the elite special warfare branch of the U.S. Air Force, said that based on video footage, the airdrops appeared to have been carried out hastily and over significant urban areas, which was in contrast with standard U.S. Air Force protocols.

In another indictment against the Biden administration and his allies, numerous reports are revealing that aid efforts to Gaza have been “a mess.” Because the region lacks a port or means of delivery, most aid has been airdropped.

But the over 200 metric tons of food have not reached people in need. Or, according to some videos, the food has been rejected by locals. Some claim the food is unfit for Arabs to eat. In one video, a Palestinian man threw away the food, unwilling to eat something provided by Americans.

Gaza lacks a port because the region is run by Hamas, an elected government chosen by the people. This group has prioritized using aid to acquire weapons to use against Israel. Hatred for Israel and its allies is common among Palestinians.

It should come as no surprise that Palestinians are not welcoming aid from Western nations. But it also should have been expected that aid spearheaded by the Biden administration would result in such a mess.

Former Air Force personnel criticized Biden and other nation’s airdrops, saying it was not consistent with U.S. Air Force protocols. Critics will wonder if Biden can get anything done. His administration has fumbled repeatedly, especially in the area of foreign diplomacy.

Biden vowed to build a port in Gaza. But with Hamas still active and Palestinians hostile to Americans, it is unlikely he will be able to build a raft let alone an entire port.

Key Takeaways:

• Aid to Gaza has been poorly planned and lacked coordination.
• This comes after President Biden pledged millions in aid to the region.
• Palestinians are rejecting the 200 tons of food sent to help.
