In Episode #25 of Cold War 2.0, Kevork Almassian and historian Dr. Tarik Cyril Amar expose Israel’s latest propaganda push: enlisting social media influencers to wage its information war.
🔹 Netanyahu & TikTok as a “weapon” — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a group of U.S. influencers that TikTok is the most important weapon for securing Israel’s image, alongside X (Twitter). He urged them to defend Israel’s policies online and fight rising criticism.
🔹 Hasbara panic — Israeli spokesperson Eylon Levy warned that even military victories are meaningless “if Israel emerges from this war a global pariah.” ADL head Jonathan Greenblatt admitted that “half the world now hates us — and young people the most.”
🔹 Washington’s Gaza plan — The Trump administration is reportedly backing a 21-point plan to end the Gaza war and lay the groundwork for a Palestinian state. Former British PM Tony Blair is being considered to lead a “Gaza International Transitional Authority” (GITA), ruling the Strip for up to five years.
From digital propaganda wars to U.S.-backed schemes for Gaza, Israel faces a crisis of legitimacy — and is now relying on influencers to shape global opinion.
