Israel and UN negotiate deploying Starlink in Gaza Strip: report

Israel and the UN have negotiated the deployment of Elon Musk's Starlink communications system in the Gaza Strip, according to a report by Axios.

The move is aimed at helping protect aid workers and increase aid distribution across the enclave, a number of officials told the outlet.

Much of the UN's aid distribution in Gaza has been suspended over safety fears and obstruction by Israel.

"A team from the UN security department is heading to Israel as part of our continuing engagement on security related issues to the UN operations in Gaza," a senior UN official told Axios.
