After his UN speech, Prime Minister Netanyahu met American pro-Israel influencers, urging them to fight antisemitism and harness social media power to defend Israel’s future.
Following his address to the UN General Assembly, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a special meeting with American pro-Israel influencers at the Israeli Consulate in New York. The discussion centered on the battle for truth in the digital age and the pivotal role of social media in shaping global perceptions of Israel.
Netanyahu emphasized that the struggle for Israel’s legitimacy is not only on the battlefield but also online, where misinformation spreads rapidly. “The only value in life is its purpose,” he declared passionately. “And if it depends on the survival and prosperity of the Jewish People and rebuffing the wave of hatred and denigration—you must fight!”
The Prime Minister highlighted the responsibility of digital voices to counter the lies and amplify Israel’s story. With antisemitism rising globally and Israel facing relentless disinformation campaigns, Netanyahu urged influencers to see themselves as modern-day defenders of Zion, armed with truth and platforms that reach millions.
The meeting reflected Israel’s recognition that the war of narratives is as crucial as the war on terror, and that young pro-Israel voices across TikTok, X, Instagram, and YouTube are on the frontline of defending the Jewish state.
