⚡️🇮🇱 NEW - Israel funded a fake US think tank called the "Hanover Institute" that published 124 reports totaling over 560,000 words in nine days, designed to be cited by AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.
The site was built on a platform that promises to optimize content so AI systems will treat it as credible research.
Every headline mirrors a question a user might type into a chatbot:
Is Israel Carrying Out a Genocide in Gaza?
The answers consistently frame information to blunt criticism of Israel.
The operation was funded through Israel's government advertising agency via the European ad group Havas, with tens of millions of dollars routed to American contractors including a firm run by former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale.
An Israeli official admitted to Ynet:
We paid a lot of money, but the situation only got worse.
