Former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale has registered as a foreign agent for Israel to create pro-Israel content to target Gen Z audiences, according to The Hill.
The contract for Parscale's Clocktower X LLC is worth $6 million.
Israel wants Parscale to "help game algorithms" and target Gen Z audiences, "across platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcasts, and other relevant digital and broadcast outlets," according to Responsible Statecraft.
Israel wants the social media campaigns to hit a minimum of 50 million impressions per month.
"Clock Tower will create new websites to influence how AI GPT models such as ChatGPT, which are trained on vast amounts of data from every corner of the internet, frame topics and respond to them — all on behalf of Israel," Responsible Statecraft reported.
The contract says that Parscale's "Agency shall provide strategic communications, planning, and media services in support of Client’s engagement by the State of Israel to develop and execute a nationwide campaign in the United States to combat antisemitism."
Clocktower X LLC will be primarily corresponding with chief of staff at Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Eran Shayovich.
The revelation comes after Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said on camera that Israel needs to use social media as a "weapon."
