Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened American social media influencers at Israel’s Consulate General in New York on September 27, 2025, to discuss strategies for sustaining US conservative and evangelical backing amid Gaza conflict scrutiny.
He emphasized social media platforms like TikTok and X as vital tools in public opinion battles, highlighting the recent US-approved acquisition of TikTok’s operations as a key step to counter anti-Israel narratives.
The meeting addressed concerns over shifting support from demographics like the ‘woke right’ and urged outreach to communities, with the TikTok deal led by pro-Israel donor Larry Ellison facing antitrust criticism.
