Netanyahu warns Hamas of massive military response ahead of elections
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened Hamas with a "massive force" if it attempts attacks to influence upcoming elections.
French public broadcaster France Televisions was set to grant Israeli data company Terrific access to millions of viewers' data, according to reports. Terrific, whose co-owner has ties to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was to collect audience data for France 2's political program "L’Heure de Vérité." The move raised concerns among France Televisions employees, who feared the data could be used for foreign interference ahead of 2027 elections.
Founded in 2021, Terrific describes itself as a marketing and audience measurement agency, with partnerships including Google and Meta. Its founder, Israel Grintz, serves as NEAIG's CEO, a start-up specializing in political marketing. Natan Eshel, another shareholder, served as Netanyahu's chief of staff from 2010 to 2012. France Televisions canceled the contract after Mediapart threatened to publish its findings about the deal.
