An AI-generated video released by Prime Minister Netanyahu last night depicts opposition MK Gadi Eisenkot running toward a young man who resembles his son Gal, who fell in Gaza, only to pass him by. The video, which includes the young man wearing a shirt reading 'Unity of Israel,' has drawn criticism from bereaved families and hostage families, who accuse Netanyahu of desecrating Eisenkot's bereavement.
New details emerged Tuesday evening regarding the AI-generated video released by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which depicts opposition MK Gadi Eisenkot running toward a young man resembling his son Gal, who fell in Gaza, only to pass him by. The young man is seen wearing a shirt reading 'Unity of Israel.'
The video, released last night, has drawn sharp criticism from bereaved families and hostage families, who accuse Netanyahu of exploiting Eisenkot's personal tragedy for political gain. "This is a desecration of the sanctity of bereavement," one source said.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday, the video had already sparked a storm of criticism upon its initial release. The new details further fueled the controversy, with many calling on Netanyahu to apologize.
Gadi Eisenkot, a former IDF chief of staff, lost his son Gal in the Gaza war. The use of his son's image in campaign material has been widely condemned across the political spectrum. The Prime Minister's office has not yet responded to the new revelations.
