Global Powers Unite: Russia, China, and Iran Support Hamas in Verbal Battle

Iran, Russia, and to a lesser extent, China, have been using state media and major social networking platforms to support Hamas and undermine Israel, while also denigrating the United States. The deluge of online propaganda and disinformation is unprecedented, with millions of people being exposed to emotionally charged and often false content. The campaigns by these countries are not coordinated but share similar themes, amplifying each other's views across multiple platforms and languages. The online war of words has the potential to inflame a wider conflict and has raised concerns about the spread of illiberal, antidemocratic sentiment.
