Largest-Ever Influence Operation Targets Qatar Amid Wartime Mediation Efforts
Jul 8, 2024, 06:27 AM
A large-scale influence operation targeting Qatar has been uncovered, involving slander-ridden Facebook ads, shady websites, and a New York City billboard. The campaign aims to vilify Qatar as it mediates between Israel and Hamas during wartime. The operation includes tactics such as calling for a boycott of Qatar and spreading propaganda through multiple channels, including social media and online ads. This effort appears to be systematic, targeted, and offensive in nature, aligning with leaked strategies from Russian foreign intelligence (SVR) on information warfare. It is described as the largest-ever influence operation to target Qatar.
