Possible Netanyahu prop spotted

Netanyahu’s office tweets out a picture of the prime minister getting ready for his address.

Notable is what is in Netanyahu’s hand, which is either a placard with large text because he forgot his glasses, or another one of his trademark props.

In 2009, Netanyahu brought out plans from the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp to make a point, and in 2012 he famously used a cartoon drawing of a bomb to give the world a lesson on his “red lines” vis-a-vis Iran’s nuclear program.

Though he eschewed the gimmicks last year, speculation has still been rampant that Netanyahu will seek the use of visual aids to make a point.
