Netanyahu posts AI image of nuked Tel Aviv on eve of vote

The post drew criticism from opposition leaders, who said it used apocalyptic imagery to frighten voters as polls showed Netanyahu trailing.

  • On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted an AI-generated image of a nuclear explosion over Tel Aviv, warning that electing a leader incapable of confronting Iran could expose Israel to a "second Holocaust".
  • The post featured analysis by political commentator Yuval Bloomberg, who argued Israel faces a "real and tangible existential threat" from Iran and dismissed political controversies as "one giant smokescreen" hiding the security danger.
  • Democrats chairman Yair Golan demanded Netanyahu be kept away from social media, while Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot labeled him "hysterical" and accused him of using "lies and scare tactics."
  • White House officials feared Tehran could misinterpret the post as signaling an imminent strike, while critics argued the imagery was designed to manipulate voters in the campaign's final days.
  • Voters head to the polls tomorrow, October 27, with final surveys showing Eisenkot's bloc leading Netanyahu's coalition 56 to 50 seats, far short of the 61 required to form a government.
