Israeli researchers discover a network of hundreds of fake Twitter accounts that promoted PM Netanyahu, a week before a national election
Labourers work on hanging up a Likud election campaign banner depicting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with his party candidates, in Jerusalem on March 28, 2019.
Opinion polls show Netanyahu and his main challenger, centrist candidate Benny Gantz, locked in a close race ahead of the April 9 election. "Expert analysis shows the network has reached more than 2.5 million Israelis," the report said, putting the number of tweets since the start of the election campaign at more than 130,000. Israel has a population of about 8.7 million.Likud party denies allegations
The report said one surge of fake tweets came after Israel's attorney general announced his intention in February to indict Netanyahu on corruption charges, which the prime minister has denied.
