Israeli military admits Netanyahu’s propaganda campaign using fake Hamas documents to manipulate public opinion
Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- The Israeli military has acknowledged that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is behind the leak of falsified Hamas documents aimed at swaying Israeli public opinion against a ceasefire deal, according to Ynet. The internal investigation, initiated after “classified Hamas documents” were manipulated and leaked to foreign media, reveals that Netanyahu’s office orchestrated the campaign to derail the ongoing prisoner exchange negotiations.
According to sources within Israel’s security establishment, these fabricated documents were strategically designed to portray Hamas as unwilling to cooperate in a prisoner exchange deal, thus justifying Netanyahu’s hardline stance and deliberately obstructing any progress toward a ceasefire. Reports published in European newspapers cited alleged Hamas plans to pressure the Israeli public, which closely align with Netanyahu’s own rhetoric regarding his uncompromising conditions for a deal.
As the investigation into the leaks continues, Netanyahu faces increasing criticism both from within the occupation state and the international community for using disinformation as a political tool to prolong the conflict.
Western media and the US administration have been pushing the narrative that Hamas is resistant to a ceasefire, despite mounting evidence to the contrary. While official statements often claim that Hamas is deliberately avoiding peace efforts, reports from inside Gaza and mediating countries indicate that the movement has made numerous concessions and actively pursued dialogue for a ceasefire.
