A protest statue in the image of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was placed today (Wednesday) in Habima Square in Tel Aviv. Some passers-by in the area were even photographed with the controversial exhibit.
As you may recall, this is not the first time that a protest has been staged against Netanyahu throughout Tel Aviv. In December 2016, a gilded statue of Netanyahu four meters high by the artist Itai Zliat was placed in Rabin Square in the city, and caused a great commotion.

A speaker was inserted into the doll, which was wearing a crown, and a number of quotes were heard from Netanyahu, including: “The right-wing government is in danger,” and “the left-wing media.” Passers-by were photographed with Netanyahu’s doll, while others photographed it themselves.

About six months later, another provocative display was placed in the square, showing a painting of the Netanyahu couple, with the prime minister holding a severed leg and his wife Sarah making a heart movement in her hands.
In July 2020, an exhibition in the form of the Prime Minister was placed in Rabin Square, in which Netanyahu was seen sitting in front of a table full of food in a manner that simulates the last meal and bites the Israeli flag cake.
