Israeli newspaper Haaretz has uncovered a network of multimillion-dollar contracts funding a propaganda campaign spanning artificial intelligence, evangelical churches, and right-wing media networks.
The campaign is a desperate attempt by Israel to rehabilitate its image among American conservatives. The Haaretz investigation reveals that since mid-2025, Israel’s Foreign Ministry, Tourism Ministry, and Government Advertising Agency (LAPAM) have routed millions through the PR giant Havas Media Germany to American contractors linked to Donald Trump’s political machine and evangelical circles.
The effort is designed to “reshape Israel’s perception” amid a historic collapse in U.S. public support following the Gaza war. In this swing some of the biggest Maga supporters are now questioning the funding of the genocide while the American economy is in serious decline. Some of American president Donald Trump’s supporters are now opening questioning the blind support of Israel.
Haaretz revealed that the State of Israel has signed multimillion-dollar contracts with U.S. firms linked to Trump allies and evangelicals to rebuild support among conservatives. The campaign uses bots, influencers, and re-trains AI systems like ChatGPT and Claude to steer discourse and rehabilitate Israel’s image. On social media, ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt says the goal is to “get upstream” to “solve the problem,” praising the recent TikTok takeover by Larry Ellison, Marc Andreessen and others.
