Saying its only done for optics seems unfair to me. Right now aid needs to get in and ASAP and airlifts are one way to do that.
Biden has also announced that the US will build and operate a seaport to send in more aid and I'm still seeing cynical takes about how its performative.
Biden could build a rail line directly from DC to Gaza to funnel 5,000 trucks worth of aid in a day and people would still say its performative.
Until he stops sending daily shipments of weapons to bomb Gazans and force Israel to let enter the available massive aid trucks blocked by Israelis at the borders then yeah it's for optics.
It's silly to have a few airdrops when you also send bombs and you don't force Israelis to let aid truck enter
