Israel
, Daniel Hagari said that his country must start developing a propaganda strategy in

According to Hagari, Israel has now lost the social media war.In fact, he said, online space is the most dangerous arena and can shape global public opinion, especially for the younger generation.
In a speech at the Jewish Federations of North America’s annual conference in Washington, DC, Hagari urged the creation of an elite Israeli cyber intelligence division.According to him, Israel must now fight a battle of images, videos and statistics – not long texts.

Quoted from Middle East Monitor, Saturday (22/11), Hagari proposed the formation of a unit capable of monitoring anti-Israel content on various platforms, in real time in various languages.He said the Israeli government also needs to prepare messages and quick responses to the government and media.
He also called for the systematic creation of fake online identities, automated bot networks, and the use of unofficial bloggers-“preferably young women”-to shape global perceptions.
He warned that the decisive phase of this battle would be known a decade from now.Especially when students using artificial intelligence tools searched for information about the events of October 7 and found “two completely contradictory narratives.”
Hagari, a former naval officer who served in sensitive military roles, became Israel’s top military spokesman in 2023 before being removed from his post earlier this year.
