President Isaac Herzog is slated to meet tomorrow in Jerusalem with X and Tesla owner Elon Musk, who is visiting Israel amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, his office says.

Herzog says that he will be joined in the meeting by some family members of hostages beind held in Gaza. The president says that he will “emphasize the need to act to combat rising antisemitism online.”

Musk has come under fire in recent weeks for his endorsement of a virulently antisemitic trope on X, as well as the platform’s complete failure to crack down on rampant disinformation and hate speech amid the ongoing war.
