Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has voiced support for Israel after it came under attack by Palestinian fighters, saying one challenge was “ultimately stopping the propaganda that is convincing people to engage in, you know, murder”.

According to Reuters, after hearing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying Hamas must be destroyed in a live online chat, Musk said: “There’s no choice.”

Musk, visiting Israel during its bombardment of Gaza, added: “I’d like to help as well.”
