Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on September 28th, 2025, that TikTok is the "most important" weapon for securing Israel's right-wing support, calling it a consequential purchase. He made these remarks while mission-briefing American influencers, emphasizing the evolving nature of weapons and the critical role of social media, according to a report from DiscloseTV. Netanyahu also highlighted the importance of X (formerly Twitter), describing Elon Musk as a "friend" with whom dialogue is essential. This statement comes as the GSS, Israel's internal security agency, reportedly attempted to recruit Gaza clans to fight against Hamas, an effort that was refused, leading to attacks on their homes, according to Kan NWS. During this reporting period, the UAE delegation remained seated during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the United Nations on September 28th, 2025, a deliberate political act signaling discipline and a commitment to maintaining presence within decision-making arenas, as stated in a post on X. In parallel developments, the Trump administration had previously proposed freezing fighting lines in Gaza and securing the release of all hostages within 48 hours. This proposal was part of a broader peace plan aimed at destroying Hamas's offensive weaponry. Meanwhile, Israeli forces reportedly gained control of approximately 57% of Gaza City, according to a source on X, with Belgium formally recognizing a Palestinian state on September 27th, 2025.
