Hamas-affiliated channels are circulating a video posted earlier Thursday by Israeli Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter — in which he called on Gaza residents to protest against Hamas — and are using it to claim the planned anti-Hamas demonstrations are a collaboration with Israel, according to Abu Ali Express.
Hamas-linked Telegram channels are circulating a video posted earlier Thursday (June 25) by Israeli Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter — a former Shin Bet director — in which he addressed Gaza residents in Arabic and called on them to protest against Hamas on Thursday. The channels are framing Dichter's message as proof that the planned 'June 26 Revolution' demonstrations are a collaboration with the IDF, according to Abu Ali Express.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday, Dichter's original video told Gaza residents that Hamas 'has condemned you to lives of poverty for generations' and urged them to take to the streets. The protest movement, organized by Gaza residents under the banner 'June 26 Revolution', calls for an end to Hamas rule. The channel affiliated with Hamas is captioning Dichter's video in Arabic with the claim that the protests are a 'collaboration' and that Dichter 'supports the Smotrich protest' — a pun conflating the Gaza protest hashtag with the name of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.
The incident marks the latest stage in an information war surrounding the rare anti-Hamas protests, which Hamas-linked channels have been actively mocking and discrediting since the calls for demonstrations first emerged.
