Overview
- Prime Minister’s Office confirmed the Army was instructed to broadcast Netanyahu’s UN address to Gaza using truck-mounted loudspeakers along the border.
- The PMO said the setup would be coordinated with civilian agencies and the IDF and emphasized the order not to endanger soldiers.
- Initial Israeli media reports of installing equipment inside Gaza prompted pushback from military figures, before a clarification that all speakers would stay on the Israeli side.
- Military sources characterized the effort as psychological warfare, and local outlets reported trucks with large speakers moving to the frontier.
- Hostage relatives and groups such as Ima Era condemned the move, with some urging the prime minister to use the speakers to deliver messages of hope to captives, as protesters gathered near the UN in New York.
