The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs in Israel used social media bots to influence American lawmakers, revealed by The New York Times, coinciding with news of a rally against antisemitism in Manhattan organized by a Messianic Jewish group that aims to convert Jews to believe in Jesus.

Aaron Abramson, a former Israeli army member and believer in Jesus as the Messiah, has been appointed as the CEO of Jews for Jesus, making him the first Israeli to lead the organization known for its Christian missionary efforts to convert Jews.
