Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his political rivals remain locked in a tight race ahead of an upcoming election, with both sides escalating their digital warfare tactics. Campaigns are deploying automated accounts, manipulated media, and sophisticated data strategies to sway public opinion in the final days before voting. Experts warn that the use of bots and deepfakes risks undermining trust in the electoral process, raising concerns over misinformation’s growing influence in politics. The battle for votes is now being waged as much in cyberspace as on the campaign trail.
Netanyahu and his rivals are tied days from the vote, and both camps are fighting with bots, deepfakes and data.
