Netanyahu faces backlash over Holocaust warning in AI-generated post

nettavisen.no (Swedish) —

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces widespread criticism after posting an AI-generated image of a nuclear bomb striking Tel Aviv and warning of a "new Holocaust" if his rival wins Tuesday's election. Netanyahu claimed his opponent Gadi Eisenkot cannot stop Iran's nuclear threat, saying future generations would not forgive missing a "historic window" with President Trump. He urged voters to "tremble" before choosing someone he says endangers their survival. Eisenkot accused Netanyahu of hysteria and scare tactics, while other party leaders called for him to be kept off social media. Polls show a near tie between the two right-wing candidates.
