Lewis Hamilton’s Gaza Instagram posts draw scrutiny after visit to Egypt’s Rafah Crossing border

Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton drew scrutiny after posting about Gaza following a visit to El Arish and the Rafah Crossing in Egypt. He condemned Israel’s actions as “genocide” and urged it to allow aid trucks into Gaza, prompting criticism that the walls he described were on the Egyptian border.

Hamilton said he had been briefed on humanitarian efforts and saw lines of vehicles waiting to deliver aid. He described the border as resembling an “open-air prison” and called for Israel to meet its ceasefire obligations. Ferrari and title sponsor HP had not responded to requests for comment, according to the article.
