Elon Musk visits Israel to discuss hostage plight and rising antisemitism

Live Mint  

Billionaire Elon Musk landed in Tel Aviv on Monday, beginning a visit during which Israeli leaders plan to bring his attention to the plight of hostages held in war-torn Gaza and discuss rising antisemitism online, Reuters reported. His visit coincides with a four-day truce in an Israeli war with Palestinian Hamas militants in Gaza during which 40 of the 240 hostages Israel says have been held by Hamas have returned to Israel. On September 18, PM Netanyahu met Elon Musk in California urged him to strike a balance between protecting free expression and fighting hate speech after weeks of controversy over antisemitic content on X. Then on November 15 Musk agreed with a post on X that falsely claimed Jewish people were stoking hatred against white people, saying the user who referenced the "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory was speaking “the actual truth", as per Reuters reports.
