Haaretz: Activity of a network of fake Iranian accounts in support of Netanyahu on election day.
🔸 The newspaper "Haaretz Shboyim" in an investigative report reported on the existence of a network of fake Iranian user accounts that on the day of the elections to the Parliament of the POWs held two weeks ago, the citizens of the POWs encouraged the citizens of Israel to "support" Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister.
According to this newspaper, this network was part of a propaganda campaign whose initial goal was to help replace the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, but on election day the captives changed their activities and promoted in favor of Netanyahu and the Likud party.
The Prime Minister's Office and his party, Likud, denied this report.
🔸 Omer Beniko and Bar Peleg, two authors of "Haaretz", reported in their report that they identified a network of 1,653 fake user accounts that were active in cyberspace, including the X networks and Instagram, and presented themselves as Iranian citizens or Iranians abroad. According to this newspaper, an Iranian user account apparently asked the crowd in Farsi on the morning of POW Election Day, is there anyone who can translate this message into Hebrew? This user's message to POW-eili voters was: “From Iran, dear people of POW-eili, I hope you make history today and stand on the right side of history. ".
The report shows that the messages published on these accounts that day asked the Israeli prisoners to "go and vote for Netanyahu" because of the liberation of Iran from the yoke of the Islamic Republic.
