‘Iran embassy’ banner in Tel Aviv revealed as movie PR stunt
A massive banner in central Tel Aviv claiming to announce the imminent opening of an Iranian embassy in Israel has been revealed as a publicity stunt for a new Israeli movie.
The banner appeared in recent days opposite Rabin Square, and reads: “The Iranian embassy in Israel will open here soon,” and is accompanied by the Israeli and Iranian flags and a phone number with a Tel Aviv area code.
The film, “Atomic Falafel,” is directed by Dror Shaul, and opens in Israeli cinemas next month. It tells the tale of an Israeli girl and Iranian girl who work together via social media to prevent a nuclear war.
