Netanyahu aide admits fabricating fake news

Eli Hazan, the newly appointed director of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Press Office, has publicly stated he deliberately fabricates fake news as a communications strategy. In a video statement, Hazan declared that 'the truth doesn't matter anymore' and 'the facts don't matter anymore,' citing a need to emulate former U.S. President Donald Trump's approach. This admission has sparked controversy and raised questions about the integrity of official Israeli government messaging. The remarks highlight a shift toward more aggressive and unverified information tactics in political communication.
