Israel’s far-right National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has sparked outrage by sharing an artificially intelligent (AI) generated video ahead of the upcoming Israeli elections. The video depicts a severely malnourished Palestinian, seemingly highlighting suffering. Critics accuse Ben-Gvir of exploiting the humanitarian crisis for political gain and employing deceptive tactics to rally support. The move is widely condemned as unethical and insensitive, particularly given the ongoing conflict and accusations of Israeli restrictions on aid to Gaza. Opponents allege the video aims to demonize Palestinians and reinforce extremist ideologies amongst voters. Ben-Gvir has not yet publicly commented on the criticism, but the incident has fueled debate about the use of AI in political campaigning and the spread of misinformation. The dissemination of the video fuels concerns about escalating tensions and hindering peace efforts.
