Osama Hamdan, a Hamas official, has been giving press statements in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, since the start of the ceasefire. This time, there was an unexpected topic on Hamdan’s agenda. The owner of Platform X, formerly known as Twitter, visited Israel and criticized Musk. “We invite Mr. Elon Musk, who visited the occupiers a few days ago, to visit the Gaza Strip to see the extent of the massacres and crimes committed against our people.”
Hamdan Al-Musk called to see the devastation in Gaza. He added: “We call on you to at least adhere to the standards of neutrality and reliability and to move away from the policy of bias and double standards with regard to the legitimate rights of our people.”
It was claimed that anti-Semitic messages were allowed on X, which is owned by Musk’s company, and major companies such as Apple, Disney and IBM suspended their advertising expenditures on the platform. After that, the billionaire businessman visited Israel and met with the Israeli Prime Minister and President.
The Israeli Minister of Communications announced during the visit that Musk and his satellite Internet system, Starlink, had agreed in principle not to provide satellite Internet to Gaza without Tel Aviv’s approval.
The extended Gaza ceasefire, Musk’s visit to Israel, the US ship’s departure for the Persian Gulf and expectations of a minimum wage increase in the neutral zone were discussed.
