Netanyahu posts AI image of nuked Tel Aviv on eve of vote
Netanyahu warned that only his government could stop Iran’s nuclear threat, drawing criticism that the post was meant to frighten voters.
- On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted an AI-generated image on X showing a nuclear explosion over Tel Aviv, warning that Iran poses an existential threat and could cause a "second Holocaust."
- Released two days before Tuesday's election, the post framed political controversies as "one giant smokescreen" to distract from the Iranian threat, arguing Israel must act during the remaining two years of President Donald Trump's term.
- The post featured analysis by author Yuval Blumberg, who argued Israel faces an existential danger, contrasting with Netanyahu's June 2025 claims that he had already removed the "immediate existential threats" of nuclear annihilation.
- Opposition leaders denounced the publication as "scare tactics," with Democrats chairman Yair Golan calling for Netanyahu to be kept from social media, while Yashar Party leader Gadi Eisenkot labeled him "hysterical."
- White House officials expressed concern that the post could lead Tehran to miscalculate and trigger hostilities, while final polls show the coalition backing Eisenkot leading Netanyahu's bloc 56 to 50 ahead of Tuesday's vote.
