Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi announced in a statement on the X platform that they will block the communication resources Elon Musk intends to provide for aid to Gaza.

Karhi stated, "Israel will use all means at its disposal to fight this." he said.

Karhi's statement, which quoted Elon Musk's Starlink announcement, is as follows:

"Israel will use all means at its disposal to fight this. HAMAS will use it for terrorist activities. There is no doubt about it, we know it, and Musk knows it. HAMAS is ISIS. Perhaps Musk would like to condition it on the release of our kidnapped babies, sons, daughters, and the elderly. Until then, my office will cut all ties with Starlink."

Israel will use all means at its disposal to fight this.

HAMAS will use it for terrorist activities. There is no doubt about it, we know it, and Musk knows it. HAMAS is ISIS.

Perhaps Musk would be willing to condition it with the release of our abducted babies, sons, daughters,... https://t.co/pRNOlnINbZ
