The planned broadcast of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's United Nations speech into the Gaza Strip via cellular network and loudspeakers has not yet commenced, according to Israeli news sources on Telegram as of 11:35 AM UTC on September 26th, 2025. The delay comes amid previous reports that the Prime Minister's Office had ordered the IDF to implement the broadcast, intended to reach residents within Gaza. Sources indicate that the speakers designated for the broadcast have not entered Gaza. This development follows earlier directives from the Prime Minister's Office on September 26th, 2025, for the IDF to deploy loudspeakers across the Gaza Strip and for a simultaneous direct cellular broadcast of Netanyahu's address. The initiative had reportedly faced criticism from families of hostages and soldiers. Earlier this morning, September 26th, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) had issued immediate evacuation orders for residents near a building in Gaza City's Rimal area, citing its alleged use by Hamas. These orders were part of preparations for imminent strikes on Hamas infrastructure in the Gaza Port area and Al-Remal neighborhood, with specific evacuation instructions provided for several blocks and streets on Amin Al-Husseini Street. The IDF stated the targeted building contained Hamas terrorist infrastructure. In parallel, Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon had accused Palestinian representatives yesterday of planning a "show" at the United Nations, including staged walkouts during the Israeli Prime Minister's speech, alleging requests for countries to substitute delegates to simulate widespread walkouts.
