Plans to Broadcast Speech Across Gaza
In the wake of the Netanyahu UNGA speech, Netanyahu instructed the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) to install loudspeakers across Gaza to allow his message to be transmitted to Gazans. As per Channel 12, the IDF initially opposed the plan in the beginning, stating that the installation of the system would force troops to leave their secure positions and expose them to Hamas attacks.
Despite these worries, Haaretz reported that the army had started preparing for executing the directive of the Prime Minister. A IDF official described the plan as a psychological warfare directed towards the citizens of Gaza. Netanyahu's speech is not just about addressing the hostages as well as Gaza hostage crisis will also be likely to address the ongoing controversy within the West about the recognition of as an autonomous Palestinian state.
