New U.S.-Made Pier Breaks Apart Off Coast of Gaza, Halting Aid Shipments
------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the humanitarian front, aid shipments to Gaza by sea have been halted
after a new U.S.-made pier broke apart in rough seas. The temporary $320
million pier had only become operational less than two weeks ago. It is
expected to take at least a week to fix.

In other news from the region, former Republican presidential candidate
and ambassador Nikki Haley visited Israel on Tuesday and was
photographed signing an Israeli artillery shell. She wrote the words
"Finish Them!"
