The Religious Zionism party released an AI-generated video showing Supreme Court President Isaac Amit being dragged on the floor, as part of a plan to change the judicial system, according to i24NEWS. The video drew harsh condemnations from political rivals accusing party leader Bezalel Smotrich of inciting division ahead of the 2026 elections.
The latest salvo in the election campaign came Tuesday evening as the Religious Zionism party released an AI-generated video depicting Supreme Court President Isaac Amit being physically dragged down a street, set against a plan to overhaul the judicial system. The video, reported by i24NEWS, drew immediate condemnation across the political spectrum, with critics accusing party leader Bezalel Smotrich of spreading incitement during a tense election period.
The incident follows months of heated debate over judicial reform. As The Zioneer reported in June, President Amit himself warned of a 'regime change' during a High Court hearing on the Judicial Selection Committee reform. The new AI video appears to escalate the rhetorical conflict.
Separately, The Zioneer previously covered an AI-generated campaign video from a candidate of the opposing Democrats party that targeted religious institutions, illustrating the growing use of AI tools in the current election cycle.
