Former Trump Campaign Manager Registers As Foreign Agent For Israel

President Trump’s former campaign manager Brad Parscale has registered as a foreign agent for Israel.

Parscale was hired to create digital campaigns combating antisemitism and targeting young Americans in a contract worth $6 million.

Parscale signed a Foreign Agents Registration Act form this month, informing the Department of Justice that he and his business Clock Tower X LLC were now representing Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs “to develop and execute a nationwide campaign in the United States to combat antisemitism.”

In another registration form, Parscale also disclosed his partnership with Germany’s HAVAS Media Network as part of the arrangement.

Asked whether the agency was “supervised by a foreign government, foreign political party, or other foreign principal,” Parscale ticked the box “Yes,” explaining that the agency was being “supervised” by the “State of Israel.”

According to Parscale’s contract, his company is hired to create content where at least 80 percent “is tailored to Gen Z audiences across platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcasts, and other relevant digital and broadcast outlets.” 

The contract also states that “Agency shall provide strategic communications, planning, and media services in support of Client’s engagement by the State of Israel to develop and execute a nationwide campaign in the United States to combat antisemitism.”

Parscale will also reportedly work to influence AI models such as ChatGPT.

Parscale served as the Trump campaign’s digital media director in 2016, before going on to become Trump’s campaign manager in 2020.

Antisemitism has risen dramatically in the U.S. amid two years of Israel’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, triggered by the U.S.-designated terrorist group’s attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The Anti-Defamation League recorded 9,354 antisemitic incidents across the U.S. in 2024, the highest number on record since the ADL began tracking incidents 46 years ago. 

The ADL said that for the first time in the history of the audit, a majority (58 percent) of all incidents contained elements related to Israel or Zionism.
