Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party is facing sharp criticism over an AI-generated campaign video that critics allege mocks the late son of former war cabinet minister Gadi Eisenkot.
The video features a character described as a chief of the Yashar movement running past a young man wearing an "Israeli unity" shirt to instead embrace Ra'am Chairman Mansour Abbas. Opponents of the prime minister contend the figure in the ad is intended to resemble Gal Eisenkot, who was killed in action during the Gaza conflict.
In response to the backlash, Likud has denied that the figure in the advertisement was meant to resemble or reference Gal Eisenkot.
