Lewis Hamilton, seven-time Formula 1 world champion, published a harsh post against Israel after visiting the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing. In the post, Hamilton accused Israel of "genocide" in the Gaza Strip, claimed a delay in the entry of humanitarian aid, and called for allowing trucks to enter. Hamilton described the walls he saw and the waiting aid trucks, listing medical equipment, wheelchairs, and soccer balls for children. The article on Channel 14 calls the phrase "genocide" false, noting that the visit was conducted only on the Egyptian side, not inside the Strip. The visit took place after the Brazilian Grand Prix, accompanied by the governor of North Sinai and representatives of the Egyptian Red Crescent.
