Itamar Ben Gvir, Israeli National Security Minister, shared on the social network X an AI-generated video in which he appears as a genie. In this video, he grants the “wish” of a Gazan by magically deporting him to a Paris in ruins, a consequence of the October 17 protests.
This post provoked a strong online reaction, notably a verbal exchange with the French Foreign Ministry, illustrating the tension surrounding this content and its political implications.
This initiative comes amid Israel’s election campaign, ahead of the scheduled October 27 vote, where artificial intelligence is increasingly used as a tool for communication and political provocation.
