The Israeli government has launched a multimillion-dollar influence campaign targeting American public opinion, deploying AI-generated text messages, conservative media partnerships, and digital geofencing to counter growing disapproval of its wars on Gaza and Iran, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported.

Axar.az reports, citing Al Mayadeen, that according to WSJ, the campaign, which includes more than $45 million in contracts with a firm run by longtime Trump adviser Brad Parscale, has flooded millions of US cellphones with AI-written messages from senders posing as named individuals such as "Emma" or "Sarah," often under the group heading "Friends for Peace." The texts pose questions such as: "How do you think the US and "Israel's" peace talks with Iran will impact global security?"

The push comes as "Israel" faces a historic low in US public support. According to a March Pew Research poll, approximately 60% of American adults now hold an unfavorable view of "Israel", driven largely by concern over its conduct in Gaza and against Iran.

The scale of the operation has drawn rare public criticism from within the US administration. Vice President JD Vance, this past week, accused elements of the Israeli effort of actively undermining US diplomatic objectives. "Some Israeli officials are manipulating and trying to change American public opinion to keep the war going on indefinitely," Vance said on podcaster Joe Rogan's show.

The WSJ pointed out that at the center is Parscale, a former Trump campaign manager and current chief strategy officer at Salem Media, a conservative conglomerate that hosts Hugh Hewitt, Scott Jennings, and Lara Trump. His initial contract with "Israel" explicitly involved "integration of narrative messaging into Salem Media Network properties and aligned distribution channels."
