Dropping this here with no comment on the article because … I have no words.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry will fund a tour of Israel for U.S. social media influencers affiliated with the Make America Great Again and America First brands of conservatism, which represent a significant portion of President Donald Trump's voter base.
The initiative aims to boost Israel's image among young American conservatives by encouraging these influencers to disseminate messaging that aligns with the Israeli government's policy.

SNIP
Founded in 2012 by Rabbi Naphtali "Tuly" Weisz, Israel365 promotes support for Israel based on political, spiritual and biblical principles. Its affiliated website states that the group "stands unapologetically for the Jewish people's God-given right to the entire Land of Israel," rejects a two‑state solution as a "delusion," and describes its mission as defending "Western civilization against threats from both Progressive Left extremism and global jihad."


I truly suggest reading the whole article and not just these few excerpts.
