The tycoon Elon Musk, owner of the social network
Musk and Netanyahu had a brief conversation in a Space on the X social network after their visit to Kfar Aza, one of the kibbutz attacked by the Palestinian Islamist movement on October 7, at the beginning of the escalation of violence.
“We must demilitarize Gaza after the destruction of Hamas,” published Netanyahu, who called for carrying out a campaign to “deradicalize” the Palestinian territory.
The conversation between Musk and Netanyahu in Space seemed like more of a monologue by the Israeli Prime Minister, since the tycoon only uttered a couple of general sentences.
“Israel has also killed civilians, the difference is that Israel tries to avoid killing civilians,” explained the owner of X, while Netanyahu responded: “It is a tragedy and we try to minimize it.” “It is worrying to see protests in favor of Hamas,” says the founder of Starlink at another point. “They hate Israel and they hate America,” the Israeli remarked.
In the unprecedented Hamas attack on October 7, about 1,200 people in Israel were killed, mostly civilians, according to authorities. In retaliation, Israel began an offensive in Gaza that left nearly 15,000 dead, according to the Hamas government.
A temporary truce came into effect on Friday that will be extended for two more days, according to Hamas and Qatar, which mediated the negotiations between the Palestinian Islamist movement and the Jewish State.
“Afterwards, we must also rebuild Gaza, and I hope that our Arab friends will help us in that context,” added Netanyahu, who said he hopes to resume normalization talks with Saudi Arabia and “expand the circle of peace beyond what is imaginable.” ”.
Communications Minister Shlom Karhi also announced an agreement in principle on the use of the Starlink satellite, owned by Musk, in Israel and the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli Prime Minister did not address in any of his statements the accusations of excessive anti-Semitism circulating on social network X.
The Israeli presidency also announced that Musk was due to discuss Monday with President Isaac Herzog about “the need to act to combat growing anti-Semitism online,” but the meeting was not publicly reported.
The president was to be accompanied by “representatives of families of hostages detained by Hamas.”
Elon Musk is criticized for a proliferation of hate speech on that network since he took control of the company in October 2022.
In September, before the war between Israel and Hamas, the Israeli prime minister met with Musk in San Francisco and urged him to “end anti-Semitism or push it back as much as possible” on the X network.
