Israel is reportedly spending tens of millions of dollars on a multi-faceted influence campaign in the United States to improve its image, according to The Wall Street Journal. The campaign, which includes a contract worth over $45 million with former Trump adviser Brad Parscale, utilizes AI-generated messages, conservative media advertising, and social media influencers. Millions of AI-generated messages have been sent to Americans from a group called "Friends for Peace," inquiring about U.S.-Israel relations and peace talks with Iran. The effort also involves integrating narrative messages into conservative media properties and attempts to shape AI chatbot responses to be more favorable towards Israel. Parscale stated that misinformation poses "an existential threat to Israel." This initiative comes as a March Pew Research Center poll indicated that approximately 60% of U.S. adults hold an unfavorable view of Israel.
