Iran's threat against Netanyahu raises election concerns
A manipulated image featuring Netanyahu and his wife, Sarah, holding a death threat was published. It is considered part of an Iranian disinformation campaign aimed at influencing the upcoming Israeli elections scheduled for late October. Reports indicate that networks linked to Iran and Russia are behind these disinformation operations, which seek to push voters toward extremism and provoke societal divisions, while attempting to influence election outcomes and public trust. Israel faces increasing challenges in combating online disinformation and lacks a national policy or specialized agency to fight it, amidst rising risks of data contamination and the impact of artificial intelligence on the integrity of the electoral process.
