Netanyahu Ordered Israel To Put Speakers In Gaza To Force Palestinians To Listen To His Speech At The UN
The military said it had deployed a total of nine loudspeaker systems for the “influence campaign”, placing them in military encampments in Gaza City.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu forced Palestinians in Gaza to listen to his speech at the UN General Assembly by placing loudspeakers near the Strip.
On Friday, Sept. 26, Israeli journalist Ben Caspit wrote on X that the Israeli military had received an order to share Netanyahu’s speech as part of an “English enrichment studies” operation, which was later revealed to be named “The Scream”.
Netanyahu’s office later called it a “public diplomacy effort” and said he had instructed civilian agencies and the Israeli military to “place loudspeakers on trucks on the Israeli side of the Gaza border”, according to an Israeli journalist on X.
However, the Israeli military later told the Israeli press that some of the loudspeakers, mounted on trucks and cranes, were brought to army posts inside the Strip, including those more than a kilometer deep in the Gaza Strip, the Times of Israel reported.
The military said it had deployed a total of nine loudspeaker systems for the “influence campaign”, placing them in military encampments in Gaza City, the Netzarim Corridor, and in southern Gaza, as well as along the border in line with Netanyahu’s orders.
During his speech, Netanyahu also claimed that Israeli intelligence had taken control of Palestinians’ phones in Gaza and forcibly streamed the speech onto their cellphones.
Netanyahu had delivered a 45-minute rant to a mostly empty auditorium due to more than 100 delegates walking out and boycotting his speech, boasting of Israel’s wars, denying it is committing genocide and condemned countries for recognizing Palestine as a state.
He also said again that Israel had to “finish the job” by wiping out Hamas in Gaza because it was vowing to repeat the Oct. 7 attack “again and again and again.”
He demanded Hamas free the hostages and claimed that Israel would end its genocide immediately if the group agreed to its demands.
