Danon Approaches Iranian Representative with Starlink Device From Netanyahu's
Netanyahu said Starlink can help Iranians bypass censorship as several delegations walked out and the Iranian internet blockade has lasted about five months.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu brought a Starlink satellite internet device to the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, using it to criticize Iranian internet censorship and predict the regime's eventual fall.
- Iran has outlawed SpaceX's satellite internet service because it bypasses government censorship restrictions. SpaceX began supplying free satellite internet access to Iranian users earlier this year despite the ban.
- During his 40-minute speech, Netanyahu called boycotting delegations "moral cowards." He also denied genocide accusations, calling the claim the "greatest lie of the century," despite a United Nations report documenting alleged war crimes.
- Netanyahu stated he intended to leave the satellite device with the Iranian delegation at the United Nations. "I'm going to leave this device with the Iranian delegation," he said, suggesting they use it upon defecting.
- Predicting political change in Iran, Netanyahu concluded by stating, "One day and that day is not far off, the Iranian people will be free, and their murderous regime will fall." The remark signals Netanyahu's confidence in regime change.
