Netanyahu shares AI image of nuclear blast, warns of ‘second Holocaust’
Benjamin Netanyahu shared an AI-generated image of a nuclear blast over a city two days before Israel’s parliamentary election.
In the post, he warned that electing an opponent unable to finish the campaign against Iran could endanger Israelis and lead to a “second Holocaust.”
Netanyahu has made security and the war against Iran central to his campaign, and has said Israel must act during the remaining years of US President Donald Trump’s term.
The warning conflicts with his earlier claims that Iran’s nuclear program had been disabled.
Rival Gadi Eisenkot accused Netanyahu of using lies and fear, and said he had failed to achieve his stated war aims.
The campaign also reflects a wider dispute over Netanyahu’s leadership, including criticism of his responsibility for the October 7, 2023 attacks.
Israelis were due to vote on Tuesday, with Netanyahu also warning Iran against trying to disrupt the election and threatening retaliation.

נתניהו אתה בהיסטריה. כמו בכל מערכת בחירות, שוב אותה שיטה של שקרים והפחדות. הפעם - איום על אזרחי ישראל בהשמדה המונית. וזה אחרי שנכשלת בהשגת מטרות המלחמה באיראן. מהבטחות לניצחון מוחלט עברת ל״לא נכנע״. זה כל הסיפור. אתה נכשלת. ובעוד יומיים, עם ישראל יראה לך את זה בקלפי. אנחנו
