Letting opposing, famous people (who would of course also take and share pictures from the war reality) enter the war zone without anyone getting hurt or killed by anyone else (with Israel military, Hamas and Islamic Dschihad involved) is probably the most complicated PR win ever…
Apart from that, it of course lets the question come up “Why is Greta allowed to enter, but not actual help organizations?”. And it seems that they don’t want such a precedent, because otherwise, they could easily allow the trucks to pass.
Oh no, I 100% agree with everything you’ve said here.
My point was 1) the flotillas have been happening for a few months now and has gotten more people sympathetic to the situation (Greta for example live-streamed being boarded and captured by the IDF in…June I think?) and 2) The IDF don’t WANT the easy PR win. They want Gaza empty.
An easy PR win is letting the trucks in.
