Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service has been activated in a hospital in the Gaza Strip, facilitated by Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), following over five months of negotiations. This initiative aims to provide high-speed internet for potentially life-saving medical consultations via real-time video calling amidst the devastation of many health facilities due to ongoing conflict. The activation comes after an agreement to prevent access for Hamas, recognized as a terrorist organization by the US and EU. The UAE foreign minister thanked Musk for supporting the field hospital in Gaza, highlighting the humanitarian impact. Starlink's deployment underscores Musk's growing geopolitical influence through SpaceX, a key player in international affairs and a major US government contractor.
