0:20Now PlayingEntrepreneur Elon Musk visited Israel's parliament, the Knesset, in Jerusalem on Monday. Musk, who’s been under fire over accusations of antisemitism flourishing on his social media platform X, earlier met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu where they toured the Kfar Azza kibbutz, which was stormed by Hamas militants on October 7.
Musk, wearing a protective vest and escorted by a phalanx of security personnel, used his phone to take photos or videos of the devastation, according to video released by Netanyahu’s office. Musk also was due to meet Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Benny Gantz, a former defense minister who’s now part of a special war cabinet.
During an earlier video briefing, Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy declined to say whether Musk was invited or came on his own. X, formerly known as Twitter, did not respond to a request for comment. Israel’s communications minister, Shlomo Karhi, posted on X earlier Monday about a deal that his ministry had reached with Musk’s Starlink satellite internet company.
“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,” Karhi wrote, without providing further details.
