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 as of 12:05 PM UTC on September 26th, 2025, despite earlier reports indicating the Prime Minister's Office ordered the IDF to implement the broadcast. Sources confirm that speakers positioned above northern Gaza are ready, with one report stating, "By order of the Prime Minister’s Office, giant loudspeakers will broadcast Netanyahu’s UN speech to the residents of Gaza." The delay comes after previous directives for the IDF to deploy loudspeakers and for a simultaneous direct cellular broadcast of the address, a move that had reportedly drawn criticism from families of hostages and soldiers. Earlier on 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. The IDF stated the targeted building contained Hamas terrorist infrastructure. Separately, 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.
