Israeli Justice Minister Benny Gantz has called on the chiefs of big social media platforms to quickly remove content from their sites that incites violence or spreads disinformation.
A spokesman for Gantz said he told executives of Facebook and Tik Tok during a Zoom meeting Thursday that the current round of violence is being intentionally stirred through social media by extremist elements sworn to damage Israel.
Gantz called the current round of fighting, a moment of social emergency, and we expect your assistance.
The spokesman said the executives expressed their commitment to act quickly and effectively to prevent incitement on their networks.
