7. Israel Asks Elon Musk to Help Break Hamas Hostage Crisis

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has gone ahead to contact Elon Musk as a facilitator of negotiation into the release of close to 100 hostages kept captive by Hamas in Gaza. It is Herzog’s view that Musk could use his sway on Donald Trump to secure a deal.

Trump has threatened to release all hostages before January 20 inauguration unless immediately released, and warned he will have “severe consequences” otherwise.  Musk, a major Trump campaign donor, is being credited as instrumental in dictating Trump’s approach toward the crisis.

It is still unclear if Musk will actively participate, but his input does mark a growing new role for him as a global political intermediary in conflicts.
