Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted a doctored image of an atomic bomb falling on Tel Aviv on Sunday, framing it as a stark warning about the existential threat posed by Iran's nuclear program. The post cited commentator Yuval Bloomberg, who argued that "the State of Israel is in real and tangible existential danger. If the Iranians achieve nuclear capability, nothing will matter anymore." Bloomberg stressed that the "fabricated storms" in Israeli politics were a distraction from the urgent need to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, warning that failure to act within the next two years, while Donald Trump is in office, could lead to a "second Holocaust" due to political infighting.
In response to Netanyahu's post, Yair Golan, Chairman of the Democrats, called for the Prime Minister to be removed from social media platforms. Golan stated, "The Prime Minister of Israel published a picture of an atomic bomb on Tel Aviv. I request to remove him from social media. The man and his surroundings have lost it." He added, "On Tuesday, we will replace the panic-mongers and return security and sanity to Israel."
Golan's statement also referenced a separate report that he, like former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, would be provided with Shin Bet security. The article did not elaborate on the reasons for this security detail for Golan.
