So firstly, I think that it's really important that we say that the Black Cube has always a playbook.
Like they always are having like fake identities.
They record people, they post this, and they even like do not post real stuff.
They do these mixtures from videos with a clear like intention to basically fake the reality.
What we need to know is that they're not activists.
They're not people coming to the country and fight for like different political opinions.
They're a firm which is making billions out of that kind of resources.
They were also working with Weinstein and the operation with Weinstein costed like 1.3 million euros.
So firstly, someone needed to pay them that they came to Slovenia.
But what is also important is that they were definitely close with JanΕ‘a because the people who came to Slovenia were like the highest people in this organization.
Why is this happening?
Because as you said, our prime minister had a really clear stand on Gaza.
What he was saying is that this is a genocide.
He was very clear about this.
We were one of the first countries who basically made Netanyahu a persona non grata in Slovenia.
And it was very, very clear where we are standing as a country.
But on the other also hand, JanΕ‘a always is visiting like Israel.
He's always speaking nice about Netanyahu and he's clearly connected with these people.
I don't know if this was like an Israeli state operation like in Slovenia.
