The U.S. military will soon shut down its Gaza humanitarian aid pier, according to White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan.

“I'll let CENTCOM [U.S. Central Command] speak about their plans with respect to the pier, but I do anticipate that in relatively short order, we will wind down pier operations,” Mr. Sullivan said during a July 11 news briefing.
