Part 8/13:
Geldof's plea to "drive in with sandwiches" sidesteps the broader political reality. It ignores that Gaza’s borders are tightly controlled, with Egypt's reluctance to open its border—despite cultural and religious ties—with Gaza or Egypt’s own reservations about supporting Hamas. Critics point out that Geldof’s focus shifts responsibility onto individuals rather than the political entities and international powers that control access and negotiate ceasefires.
