Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted a doctored image of a nuclear bomb falling on Tel Aviv on Sunday, warning of the existential threat to Israel if Iran obtains nuclear weapons. The post, published two days before elections, cited high-tech figure and author Yuval Bloomberg, who wrote that Israel faces a "real and tangible existential danger." Netanyahu added that "staged and fabricated storms" are designed to distract from the most important issue: "ending the work in Iran." He claimed that public discourse topics like Qatar, the conscription of Haredim, and the Urich affair are a "giant smokescreen" to divert attention from the Iranian threat.
The publication drew sharp criticism from Netanyahu's political rivals. Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, accused Netanyahu of using "fear-mongering videos" and "lies and fear tactics" in a state of "hysteria" during every election. Eisenkot stated that Netanyahu is threatening Israelis with mass destruction and has failed to achieve the war's objectives in Iran.
Yair Golan, chairman of the Democratic Party, also reacted strongly, calling for Netanyahu to be removed from social media. "The man and his entourage have lost it. The pressure is mounting," Golan said, adding that the public will replace the "panic-mongers" on Tuesday.
