The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) presented intelligence on Wednesday indicating a widespread phenomenon of large sums of money being funneled into Israel from foreign countries with the aim of promoting foreign influence. According to the information, individuals with hidden and potentially hostile interests are allegedly behind these financial transfers. The agency believes these findings necessitate intensified intelligence and investigative efforts.
