Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that President Biden will announce a plan for a temporary port on Gaza's coast to increase the flow of aid into the territory during the Israel-Hamas war. However, this statement is not accurate as there are no plans announced by President Biden yet.
The article states that 'US. President Joe Biden will announce a plan Thursday for the U.S military to help establish a temporary port on Gaza's coast'. This claim is false as there has been no announcement made by President Biden regarding this matter.
Fallacies

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive because it omits important information about the U.S. plan to build a floating pier off Gaza and how it would affect the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. The author does not provide any context or analysis of why this emergency mission was ordered by President Biden, what are the implications for the humanitarian situation in Gaza, or how it would impact the diplomatic efforts to end the war. The author also fails to disclose that he worked closely with Israeli officials on developing an inspection process at a port in Cyprus, which is part of a deal brokered by the UAE and supported by Egypt. This information could help readers understand why Israel might oppose or support this initiative, and what are the potential risks or benefits for both sides. By omitting these details, the author creates an impression that this seaport project is a unilateral American intervention that does not involve any coordination with other countries in the region.
American officials said that they ‘worked closely’ with Israelis as they developed the seaport initiative, but they did not specify whether Israel would provide direct assistance or support for its construction or operation.
Based on the description provided by White House and military officials, the temporary port for aid delivery would be built from U.S. ships, and then moved close to shore, attached to some kind of temporary causeway.
Questions remain about how aid delivered by sea would make its way to desperate Gazans. Image A seaside scene in Rafah, the southernmost city in Gaza, last month. The U.S. plan is to build a floating pier somewhere along the enclave’s coast.

Deception
(30%)
The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the statement 'President Biden is set to announce in his State of the Union address Thursday evening' implies that he will be making a new announcement regarding Gaza aid when in fact this was previously announced by other sources and has been ongoing for some time. Secondly, the phrase 'flood the zone with assistance arriving by air, land and sea' is an emotional manipulation as it suggests overwhelming help which may not necessarily be true. Thirdly, Hamas stating that they have left cease-fire negotiations without providing any details on what was discussed or if a deal has been reached creates uncertainty and can lead to further deception.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority when they mention that President Biden will announce a plan in his State of the Union address. This is not evidence for or against any claim and should be treated as such. Secondly, there are two instances where dichotomous depictions are used: 'flood the zone' and 'cease-fire negotiations'. These phrases suggest that either all aid will arrive quickly or none at all, which oversimplifies a complex issue. Thirdly, there is an inflammatory rhetoric when the author mentions that Hamas has left cease-fire negotiations to consult with their leadership on issues including aid and displaced people. This implies that they are not interested in peace and only care about their own interests, which may be a misrepresentation of the situation.

The article contains a statement from Hamas that their delegation has left cease-fire negotiations in Cairo to consult with the leadership of the movement on issues including aid and return of displaced people. This implies that there is an expectation for some sort of agreement or deal to be reached, which could potentially lead to an end to hostilities. However, it also suggests a lack of trust between Hamas and Israel in regards to cease-fire negotiations.
