Israel to fund tour for MAGA and pro-Trump influencers

The Israeli foreign ministry plans to fund a tour for 16 right-wing social media influencers from the U.S. to promote pro-Israel messaging among young Americans.

These influencers support Donald Trump's MAGA and America First movements and have significant social media followings. Yacov Livne from the ministry stated,

“With the rise of the America First movement...it’s essential for Israel that the movement adopt a pro-Israel position.”

The ministry aims to bring 550 influencer delegations to Israel by year-end, as younger generations show declining support for Israel. The tour will be organized through Israel365, which supports a pro-Israel stance aligned with conservative values.

A reported budget of 290,000 shekels ($86,000) has been allocated for this initiative.
