  "account": "On October 25, 2026, two days before Israel's election on October 27, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared an AI-generated image of a nuclear explosion over Tel Aviv on X. The post was accompanied by commentary from commentator Yuval Blumberg, warning of an existential threat from Iran. Netanyahu claimed that Israel has two more years to deal with the threat under President Donald Trump. However, the post quickly drew criticism, with opponents accusing Netanyahu of using fear tactics to secure votes.",
