— 🇮🇱/🇺🇸 NEW: Israeli media outlet 'Haaretz' reports that in recent months, Israel has signed million-dollar deals to promote bot networks that amplify pro-Israel narratives online and influence both search results and AI chatbot responses

The report notes that these efforts primarily target 'churches and Christian organizations' in the United States to counter what they see as 'declining support for Israel among evangelical Christians.'

This report is not an isolated case. In September, it was revealed that Israel signed a $6 million deal with American firm 'Clock Tower X' to influence ChatGPT to be more pro-Israel.

Last month, Hebrew media outlet 'Yedioth Ahronoth' reported that these initiatives are part of a $145 million campaign to enlist U.S. firms, influencers, and AI platforms to promote Israeli propaganda.

— 🇹🇷/🇮🇱 NEW: Yesterday, the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office issued arrest warrants for 37 Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, Yisrael Katz, and Itamar Ben-Gvir

It is not clear how serious the implications are, as Turkey has remained close to Israel throughout its wars over the past two years by maintaining trade and supplying them with Azerbaijani oil.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has called this move a 'PR stunt.'
