Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton arrived in Egypt on Tuesday, landing at an airport in North Sinai. The 41-year-old British driver met with Egyptian officials ahead of a planned visit to the Rafah border crossing and facilities involved in humanitarian aid to Gaza. Hamilton is reportedly expected to visit Egyptian Red Crescent facilities to learn about the process of preparing and delivering humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
This visit follows previous expressions of concern by Hamilton regarding the conflict in Gaza. Earlier this year, he visited Jordan, where he toured a hospital and an aid packing facility for Gaza, describing the experience as "life-changing." He also called for safe passage for humanitarian organizations like the Red Cross and Red Crescent into Gaza.
Hamilton has been vocal in his criticism of Israel's actions since the war began, previously calling for the "liberation of Palestine." His visit to the region comes amid reports of his concerns about a controversial planned Grand Prix in Rwanda, where he has also called for African unity against proxy wars in neighboring regions.
