Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar! party and former IDF Chief of Staff, expressed deep contempt for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his associates following the release of an AI-generated video by the Likud party that depicted a figure resembling Eisenkot's son, Gal, who was killed in Gaza in December 2023. Eisenkot stated that upon seeing the video, shown to him by an aide, he felt "deep disgust for Netanyahu and his circle." He characterized the creator's motive as perpetuating "hatred and fear," a tactic he claims has been employed for thirty years. Eisenkot also shared that his wife, Hanna, was significantly distressed by the video, feeling "great anger."
This incident follows a previous controversy in July when Prime Minister Netanyahu posted a video on his official Twitter account that caused public outcry. In that video, a young man wearing a shirt reading "Unity of Israel" ran towards Gadi Eisenkot, who then bypassed him to embrace Mansour Abbas. Many viewers perceived the young man in the video as a likeness of Eisenkot's son, Gal, who died in the early stages of the Swords of Iron War in the Gaza Strip.
