>The Israeli Foreign Ministry will fund a tour of Israel for U.S. social media influencers affiliated with the MAGA and America First brands of conservatism, which represent a significant portion of President Donald Trump's voter base.
>The initiative aims to boost Israel's image among young American conservatives by encouraging these influencers to disseminate messaging that aligns with the Israeli government's policy.
>The ministry will channel tens of thousands of dollars for the trip through the nonprofit organization Israel365, which was awarded the contract without a tender due to its "unique position to convey a pro-Israel stance that aligns entirely with the MAGA and America First agenda."
>The initiative will bring 16 U.S.-based influencers under the age of 30, each with hundreds of thousands to millions of followers, to counter what the ministry sees as a decline in pro-Israel sentiment among younger Americans.
>A statement supporting the exemption from tender stated that, "with the rise of the America First movement and MAGA in American politics, it's essential for Israel that the movement adopt a pro-Israel position.
>The initiative reflects a broader transformation in Israeli public diplomacy. "We're working with influencers, sometimes with delegations of influencers," the source said. "Their networks have huge followings, and their messages are more effective than if they came directly from the ministry."
>The strategy appears to be paying off. During the 12-day conflict last month with Iran, Israeli digital messaging garnered roughly 1.8 billion views, boosted in part by social media influencers with millions of followers. The Foreign Ministry has set a goal of bringing 550 influencer delegations to Israel by the end of 2025.
