SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon musk recently made a visit to Israel after the recent terrorist attack on the nation, resulting in officials announcing that they would begin to allow the use of Starlink in Gaza, under the condition of further approval from the government.
Israel’s minister of communications, Shlomo Karhi, recently congratulated Musk on the matter.
“Elon Musk, I congratulate you for reaching a principle understanding with the Ministry of Communications under my leadership. As a result of this significant agreement, Starlink satellite units can only be operated in Israel with the approval of the Israeli Ministry of Communications, including the Gaza Strip,” the Israeli official wrote.
“As the State of Israel fights against Hamas – ISIS, this understanding is vital, as is it for everyone who desires a better world, free of evil and free of anti-Semitism, for our children’s sake,” he added.
“During your time in Israel, I hope that you will be able to gain valuable insight, and that it will serve as a springboard for future endeavors, as well as enhance your relationship with the Jewish people and values we share with the entire world,” Schlomo continued.

The Starlink deal has not yet been confirmed by either Musk or the company itself. If the deal is struck, it would make good on Musk’s promise to provide terrorist-run Gaza with internet access after Israel cut all communications in the region following Hamas’, a terrorist organization, attack on the Holy Land.
Interestingly, Israeli officials used to oppose the use of Starlink in Gaza, arguing that Hamas terrorists would use the network to harm innocent Israelis.
Musk’s plan to help those in was met by strong opposition and led some to call the SpaceX CEO an antisemite, as reported by the Blaze.
“Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using them. I’m deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest sh— now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don’t exactly like them too much,” an X user said.
Musk responded to the user’s post, saying, “You have said the actual truth.”
