Netanyahu warns of 'second Holocaust' with AI nuclear image before Israel vote
Two days before Israel's election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned citizens of a "second Holocaust" and shared an AI-generated image of a nuclear bomb over Tel Aviv, claiming Iran's nuclear threat overshadows all other issues. Netanyahu posted on X that if Iran obtains nuclear weapons, "nothing else will matter," dismissing other government controversies as a "smokescreen." He argued Israel has a limited window to act while Donald Trump remains US president, despite having claimed in 2025 that Israeli bombings had "removed the threat of annihilation." Netanyahu's main challenger, former general Gadi Eisenkot, accused him of spreading fear, writing "Netanyahu, you are hysterical" and citing his failure to achieve war goals in Iran. The election is scheduled for Tuesday.
