Netanyahu's Last Supper

BATTLE FOR WORLD | July 31, 2020: According to the creator Itay Zalait of “The Last Supper”, an exhibit on display in central Tel Aviv square showing Prime Minister Netanyahu sitting by himself at a supper feast, depicting the last minutes to save Israeli democracy.

Tel Aviv residents woke up Wednesday (July 29) to a strange display: a pop-up exhibit showing a life-sized statue of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu enjoying a lavish meal served on a sprawling table all by himself, in a satire of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper”.

The display in Tel Aviv’s central Rabin Square is the latest protest in the summer of demonstrations against Netanyahu. In recent weeks thousands of people have taken to the streets calling on Netanyahu to resign, as anger grows over his incompetent response to the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus and depicting him as an egomaniac out of touch with common people.

Miri Regev, the Israeli transportation minister, denounced Zalait’s latest public exhibit as incitement to violence.
