Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon approached the head of the Iranian delegation at the UN General Assembly immediately after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech and offered him a Starlink device. The Iranian envoy refused to accept the device, avoided looking at Danon, and left. The incident occurred against the backdrop of Netanyahu's speech, in which he presented a router from Starlink, a company owned by Elon Musk, as a "gift" to the Iranian delegation. Netanyahu said the Iranian regime fears its own people and invests billions in internet censorship, and that the device would allow Iranians access to freedom of information. Meanwhile, the Iranian delegation placed a picture of the assassinated General Qassem Soleimani on their table during Netanyahu's speech as a symbolic protest. Dozens of delegates left the hall during the speech.
