- Netanyahu's campaign released an ad using A.I.-generated images targeting Gadi Eisenkot, described as the Israeli leader's top challenger in upcoming elections.
- The ad played on anti-Arab sentiments and featured images seen as disrespectful to Eisenkot's son, who was killed in the recent Gaza war.
Why it matters: Netanyahu's campaign weaponized a bereaved rival's grief and anti-Arab prejudice through A.I.-generated imagery, a tactic the source flags as questionable heading into elections where Eisenkot was the top challenger.
