Elon Musk arrived in Israel on Monday, as Israel announced an agreement that Starlink would only operate in Israel and Gaza with the Israeli government's approval. Israel's Minister of Communications Shlomo Karhi announced the agreement on X, the social media platform that Musk owns.
"Elon Musk, I congratulate you for reaching a principle understanding with the Ministry of Communications under my leadership," Karhi wrote. "As a result of this significant agreement, Starlink satellite units can only be operated in Israel with the approval of the Israeli Ministry of Communications, including the Gaza Strip."
Musk has faced growing backlash after he called an antisemitic post on X "the actual truth."

The White House also issued a statement about Musk's post, saying it was an "abhorrent promotion of antisemitic and racist hate" that goes against the core values of America.
