Mission to Iran?
The Stealth Alliance: Netanyahu Releases AI Video of Him and Trump in a Stealth Bomber
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office has released a viral AI video showing him and President Trump flying an American stealth bomber together just six months after the massive air strike on Iran.
In an unusual diplomatic gesture that has captured global attention, the Prime Minister’s Office released an artificial intelligence generated video on its English Instagram account featuring Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump. The video, released as a Christmas tribute to the American leader, depicts the two men inside the cockpit of a B-2 stealth bomber. Using advanced digital processing, the footage shows Netanyahu on the right and Trump on the left, both wearing aviator sunglasses and glancing at each other as if in the middle of a high stakes operational flight.
The release of the video comes exactly six months and two days after the American bombing of nuclear facilities in Iran, a mission that effectively ended the 12-day war following the initial Israeli campaign. While the Prime Minister’s Office did not attach a specific explanation regarding the destination of the virtual flight, the choice of the B-2 bomber is highly symbolic. President Trump has frequently boasted about the American strike on Iranian nuclear sites, often highlighting the 37-hour journey performed by B-2 pilots to reach their targets.
The timing of this digital tribute is significant as the two leaders are scheduled to meet this coming Monday at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. Netanyahu previously stated during a meeting with the Greek Prime Minister and the President of Cyprus that while Iran remains a major concern, their upcoming discussion will focus heavily on Gaza and Hezbollah. Despite the aggressive imagery in the video, American officials have suggested that Trump is unlikely to give a green light for another immediate Israeli strike on Iran at this stage. However, experts note that Jerusalem and Washington have a long history of using strategic ambiguity and intentional deception to keep their adversaries off balance.
Beyond the security implications, the video serves as a political statement during an internal debate within the Republican party between "America First" supporters and the pro-Israel camp. By emphasizing this deep strategic bond, Netanyahu’s team is reinforcing the alliance ahead of next year's midterm elections. Sources close to the President, including Vice President J.D. Vance, continue to emphasize that Trump remains determined to stand by Israel despite any tactical disagreements. For now, the video remains a virtual symbol of a relationship where everything can still change in the volatile Middle East.
