Furthermore, given the devastation wrought by Hamas on the ground, he said there was “no alternative” to destroying the Palestinian Islamist group to ensure a better future in Israel and the Gaza Strip.
But the prime minister is not far from this ideal, because in the live meeting Musk and Netanyahu agreed that Hamas has “genocidal intentions” against the Jewish people.
Musk expressed solidarity with the government and the Jewish people and said he wanted to help rebuild Gaza, the Hamas-ruled Palestinian enclave home to 2.4 million people, after more than six weeks of Israeli bombing had been devastated.
“If we want security, peace and a better life for the people of Gaza, we must destroy Hamas. “First we have to get rid of the toxic regime like they did in Germany and Japan,” Netanyahu said in an interview with Musk on X.
Musk said he wanted to help rebuild the Gaza Strip after it was devastated by more than six weeks of Israeli bombing.
“There is no option,” Musk responded, while emphasizing that civilian deaths were “inevitable,” the Times of Israel reported.
“Eliminating terrorists and those willing to kill requires decisive action,” Musk added.
Netanyahu met with Musk on October 18 in California, where he asked on the aforementioned social network for a balance between freedom of expression and the fight against hate speech in connection with the controversy over the increase in anti-Semitic messages in X during the last few months.
The billionaire also met with President Isaac Herzog in Israel, which was also attended by relatives of hostages still in the hands of Hamas in Gaza.
The Israeli president said that the billionaire’s social network was “rife with anti-Semitism” and that Musk was playing a “very important role” in combating the problem.
“Unfortunately, we are flooded with anti-Semitism, i.e. hatred of Jews, which affects the entire view of humanity in many places around the world. You play a very important role and I think we have to fight together.” Because the platform you have “unfortunately contains a large amount of old-fashioned hatred, namely hatred of Jews, i.e. anti-Semitism,” Herzog told Musk.
