Murphy: The Pier Built by the U.S. in Gaza for Humanitarian Aid Wasn’t a Mistake

MURPHY: “Listen, I think there'll be some -- some rough moments in the early going of trying to get this pier operational. But you are absolutely right. Whether it's the airdrops, or the deliveries on the pier, there's nothing that the United States can do that will substitute for the decision by Israel to open up crossings, to stop using these checkpoints as a means to interrupt the flow of vital goods. Israel has to make a commitment to solve the humanitarian crisis inside Gaza. The United States is not going to be able to do that for Israel.”
