Benjamin Netanyahu told Israeli television that he successfully influenced American cable news outlets to sway U.S. public opinion toward military conflict with Iran, Zeteo reported. The prime minister's comments suggest a deliberate effort to shape American media narratives on a consequential foreign policy matter.
Netanyahu did not elaborate on specific techniques or outlets he said he manipulated, nor did he provide details about the scope or success of such efforts. The remarks raise questions about the relationship between Israeli leadership and American broadcast journalism during periods of heightened Middle East tensions.
