Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Elon Musk against claims that he performed a Sieg Heil salute during a rally for Donald Trump, describing Musk as a significant ally of Israel. Musk's gesture at the rally, which some denounced as offensive, was characterized by Netanyahu as a misunderstanding. He emphasized Musk's continued support for Israel, particularly after recent violence linked to Hamas, and praised Musk's visits and statements in favor of Israel’s right to self-defense amid radical threats.
@elonmusk is being falsely smeared. Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre in which Hamas terrorists committed the worst atrocity against the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
His hand to his chest and extending it upwards was interpreted variously as a salute, with detractors insisting it was a Sieg Heil gesture.
Musk's declaration at the rally defined Trump's victory as a critical moment in human civilization, emphasizing its significance.
I thank him for this, he concluded, reaffirming Musk's support for Israel against threats and showcasing his commitment to the Jewish state.
