WikiLeaks exposes secret Israeli influence campaign in the U.S.
Leaked FARA filings show that Bridges Partners LLC, acting for Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been distributing over $900,000 to recruit, train, and pay U.S. influencers to flood American social media with pro-Israel content.
➡️ Influencers are reportedly receiving up to $7,000 per post, coordinated with Israeli partners under campaigns like the “Esther Project.” ➡️ Payments are itemized for “concept development” and “content creation,” with 25–30 U.S. influencers onboarded this summer alone. ➡️ Funding comes directly from Israel’s $150M foreign influence budget, approved last year to counter collapsing U.S. public support.
