  "account": "Israeli far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir removed an AI-generated video depicting Palestinian prisoners being systematically starved, following widespread outrage and comparisons to Nazi concentration camps. The video, posted on his social media, featured well-fed Palestinian men in numbered prison uniforms moving along a conveyor belt towards a detention facility. The prisoners were shown with unkempt beards and visibly emaciated after passing through the facility, with some even crying. Ben Gvir had written \"We promised – we delivered\" alongside the video, referencing his repeated pledges to worsen conditions for Palestinians in Israeli prisons. The imagery sparked harsh condemnation, including from US Senator Ruben Gallego, who tweeted that the person posting the video should never be allowed in the US.",
