Billionaire Elon Musk has shown his support for Israel in the ongoing conflict with Hamas by accepting a symbolic dog tag from a father whose child was allegedly held by the Palestinian group in Gaza. Musk arrived in Tel Aviv for a two-day visit and during a meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog and the families of hostages, a parent named Malki presented him with a dog tag engraved with the words “our hearts are hostage in Gaza.” The Israeli president’s office shared a video of Musk meeting the families, where a mother showed him a video of her son being abducted by Hamas. In response, Musk vowed to wear the dog tag every day until all hostages are released.
During the meeting, President Herzog also addressed the issue of anti-Semitism, urging Musk to combat it on his social media platform. He emphasized the importance of fighting anti-Semitism together, stating that Musk has a “huge role to play.”
Earlier in the day, Musk also met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the security aspects of artificial intelligence. They visited an Israeli kibbutz that was destroyed during a Hamas attack, where they heard briefings from local council leaders and representatives of the Israeli Defense Forces.
Musk’s visit and his expression of support for Israel come at a critical time in the conflict with Hamas. The billionaire’s involvement and commitment to wearing the dog tag demonstrate his solidarity with the Israeli people and his dedication to the cause of peace and the release of the hostages.
