JERUSALEM—SpaceX’s Starlink will support communication links in the Gaza Strip with “internationally recognized aid organizations,” prompting Israel’s communication minister to say Israel would fight the move, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on Oct. 28.

Mr. Musk said in a post on social media platform X that it isn’t clear who has authority for ground links in Gaza, and that “no terminal has requested a connection in that area.”
