In spite of its Arabic pseudonym, the page was created by Israeli citizen Gilad Cohen, who in 2018 was hired by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to run the channel as a psychological warfare tool. After Israeli newspaper Haaretz revealed that the channel operator was working for the IDF, the publication of Cohen's name was initially banned by a censorship decision of Israel's military justice, on the grounds that Cohen had access to sensitive information and performed a sensitive role. A few weeks later, however, the IDF changed its position, claiming that Cohen had never been exposed to any classified information, and the censorship on his name was lifted. As of September 2022, it was the Telegram channel with the most views per post in Israel. Stories first published by Abu Ali Express have been often reproduced in the mainstream Israeli media, including in Maariv, Globes, Ynet, Arutz Sheva, as well as on Israeli television."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
