Lewis Hamilton calls on Israel to 'let aid trucks' in to Gaza, fulfill ceasefire obligations
Lewis Hamilton visited to see efforts obtaining humanitarian aid that was headed for the Gaza Strip.
Seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton has urged Israel to honor its ceasefire commitments and grant access to aid trucks in Gaza. During a visit to El Arish, Egypt, on November 10, Hamilton witnessed aid warehouses and spoke with North Sinai Governor Khaled Megawer. In a Facebook post on November 12, Hamilton lamented the three years of Israel's alleged "genocide" in Gaza, emphasizing that people should not be denied their freedom, safety, and dignity.
He witnessed walls stretching for miles, symbolizing an "open-air prison." At the Rafah border, Hamilton observed food trucks ready to deliver aid but facing regular delays and rejections due to arbitrary reasons, including items like sleeping bags, first aid kits, medical equipment, wheelchairs, and footballs. Israel has denied genocide accusations, claiming its military operation was a defensive measure against Hamas militants.
Hamilton called for Israel to fulfill its ceasefire obligations and allow aid trucks to enter Gaza, stating, "No excuse."
