In his speech at the UN, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu displayed a Starlink device and said that "the Iranian regime is especially afraid of people having a communication device that allows people access to truth, choice, freedom of thought and freedom of expression. I will leave this device here so you can give it to the Iranian delegation - when they defect, they too will be able to tell their story on social media." He added: "One day, and it won't be long, the Iranian people will be freed. This regime will fall and we will all celebrate that day." During his speech, the Iranian delegation left a picture of Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in 2020, in its empty seat.
