Netanyahu Sparks Speculation Over Hairpiece Mark During Campaign Mall Visits

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has intensified his campaign efforts ahead of the expected October elections, visiting various locations across Israel, including malls in cities known for strong Likud support. Last week, Netanyahu visited the Malha Mall in Jerusalem, where footage showed attendees wearing identical black wristbands, sparking online criticism and questions about the authenticity of the gathering. Despite the controversy, Netanyahu and his team continued similar appearances.

On Sunday, Netanyahu visited a mall in Netanya, where he was greeted by supporters who also wore distinctive wristbands, prompting further online skepticism with comments suggesting the crowd was staged. Additionally, a video from the visit caught viewers' attention due to a mysterious mark visible on the back of Netanyahu's head. This mark led to speculation that it might be a scar from hair transplant attempts or related to a hairpiece, with some social media users expressing disgust and mockery.

Former bodyguard Ami Dror, now a leading figure in protests against judicial reforms, also commented on the visit and footage. He criticized the carefully selected and marked audience, calling the event a staged performance and highlighting the unusual marks seen in the images as particularly striking.
