X owner Elon Musk has spoken to Israel’s Shin Bet head Ronen Bar after saying he would enable some internet in Gaza through his Starlink satellite network, Hebrew media outlets report.
Musk told Bar he would only grant access to recognized aid organizations, the reports say.
Israeli is believed to have cut off much of the Strip’s internet and phone access to limit Hamas’s communications capabilities as it expands its ground operations in the territory.
According to Channel 12, Musk said he would doublecheck with Israeli and American security officials before enabling any connections.
