- veteran Israeli journalists
On July 8, 2026, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released an AI-generated video that depicted him in the role of a doctor treating patients for a condition labeled as "Anyone but Bibi syndrome." The content was modeled after a similar video previously posted by U.S. President Donald Trump, which had promoted a cure for "Trump derangement syndrome."
What happened
The AI-generated video featured veteran Israeli journalists who have historically been critical of the Prime Minister. In the depiction, these journalists were portrayed as patients receiving treatment for their political opposition to Netanyahu. This creative approach mirrored the style of the Trump campaign video, which had similarly targeted celebrities who were critical of the U.S. President. The individuals featured in the video are figures who have been frequently demonized in Likud campaign advertisements over the course of the past decade.
