‘Bloody Zionists’: Pakistani defense minister shares AI video of Likud MKs brawling
Khawaja Asif, the defense minister of Pakistan, shares a fake, AI-generated video of members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s party brawling and writes that it reflects “bloody Zionists.”
The fake video in question depicts MK Tally Gotliv and Transportation Minister Miri Regev throwing chairs, and other cabinet members from the governing party fighting with each other amid a cacophony.
Asif writes above the video, “Runs in DNA of bloody Zionists.”

This is not the first time Asif has lashed out at Israel on social media. In one instance, he wrote that Israel was “cancerous” and a “curse for humanity,” before deleting the post.
