David Amsalem’s accusations are backed by evidence, provided in the article below. Also, in July 2024, U.S. intelligence revealed that Iran supports and funds anti-Israel protests.
There is also an expansive network of Iranian proxies in the region and globally, including Iran’s influence on campuses in America. See also HERE and HERE. The same goes for Canada.
Australian Jewish News also points out:
It should be a source of considerable discomfort that former Iranian diplomat, Seyed Hossein Mousavian, has served as a Middle East security and nuclear policy specialist at Princeton University for 15 years, while another former Iranian diplomat, Mohammad Jafar Mahallati, has taught as a professor at two major American universities in spite of Amnesty International alleging his involvement in covering up Iranian human rights abuses. The latter of these two has been the subject of an investigation by the US Department of Education for antisemitism, including teaching students positive views of Hamas.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is often referenced as “the head of the snake,” and for good reason. The regime’s tentacles are influential inside Israel and globally.
Iran International reported on a leaked document last year that showed the IRGC’s role in a global anti-Israel campaign.
“Likud minister accuses anti-government protesters of being funded by Iran,” Times of Israel, May 5, 2025:
Regional Cooperation Minister David Amsalem accuses anti-government protesters of receiving funding from Iran during a speech in the Knesset plenum.
“I am completely convinced that in all of the funding of all the protests you have organized in the State of Israel over the past two and a half years, there is significant Iranian money involved,” says the Likud minister.
He recalls that, in recent months, the Shin Bet has arrested several people charged with, among other things, spreading anti-government slogans on behalf of Iran….

Totally believable. iran bragged about the protests in the U.S. being from them and on the behalf of their terror groups.
No deed is too evil for the ghouls of iran to think up and commit.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
More than Iran, it was previously funded by USAID, and now, by Left leaning financial powerbrokers in Europe & Canada
I doubt that Iran would fund Jews, even Leftist Israel-hating Israeli ones
Dov Berrol says
I would not trust anything firebrand David Ansellem says. There is no proof that Israel’s anti-Bibi protests are funded by Iran. These are grass-roots protests that are a result of loyal Israelis being concerned for the country they love.
I am shocked that such a well-respected reporter such as Christine would even spend one second on the libelous words of Amsellem.
Alkflaeda says
It is not impossible that Iranian agents would see a sincere grass-roots protest and decide to give it a helping hand – just as some Arab actors saw forest fires that were probably due to the carelessness of hikers and/or climactic conditions, and decided to encourage people to help the conflagrations along. Sincere protesters may not realise that funding is not entirely from genuine well-wishers, or that any of those who stand shoulder to shoulder with them might be promoting an additional agenda.
