Israel is up against a lot of challenges. One of them is the spread of false information online. To tackle this, they are using new technologies. These technologies are part of what is called "trust tech. " This tech helps find and stop people who try to manipulate others online.

Israel is a leader in this field. They have companies like ActiveFence, XPOZ, and Cyabra. These companies help fight against false information. They work with governments, businesses, and even regular people. They stop things like fake news, deepfakes, and financial scams.

The need for this tech has grown a lot. It started after the 2016 U. S. election and got bigger during the pandemic. Now, it's a huge industry. It's expected to be worth over $500 billion by 2028. But Israel still needs to do more. They need to invest more and work better together to fight these challenges.

Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has talked about this. He says that fighting with old weapons won't work anymore. They need to use new tools. He thanked a news channel, Newsmax, for helping in this fight. He said that the truth is the best way to beat lies.

But there are still problems. Israel's security agency, Shin Bet, has found many cases of people being tricked online. They are recruited on platforms like Telegram. These platforms also spread false information. Researchers say Israel is third in the world in this tech field. But they still have a long way to go.
