Nournews: The release of videos allegedly showing the final moments of martyr Yahya Sinwar’s life and a supposed attack on Iran is not a military action but a propaganda effort aimed at reviving the shattered morale of the Israeli army. Hebrew-language media, through psychological warfare, seek to divert domestic public attention from the regime’s endless crises. Having failed to contain the resistance in Gaza and the West Bank, the regime is now fabricating Hollywood-style stories to restore its lost image of power.
Amid this, the scenario of “fighter jets flying over Iran” is a clear fabrication — footage with no time, location, or independent source, meant more as psychological messaging than a military threat. These spectacles attempt to cover up the scandals stemming from the Israeli army’s failure against the resistance and to bolster Benjamin Netanyahu’s fragile political position.
Netanyahu trapped in crisis and trial
As this propaganda campaign intensifies, the Israeli prime minister is entangled in multiple corruption trials. To escape prosecution and a likely defeat in the 2026 elections, Netanyahu has resorted to creating an atmosphere of insecurity and warmongering. He has even requested that his court sessions be held behind closed doors to prevent the exposure of new evidence.
His attempts to win the backing of cabinet ministers and to persuade the head of state to suspend legal proceedings reveal his fear of political downfall. In previous years, he managed to temporarily mask domestic crises by igniting wars in Gaza and Lebanon, but today, amid growing public protests and discontent with the results of war, these tactics have lost their effectiveness.
Distractions to conceal defeats
The Israeli regime’s new power-showing claims come at a time when the outcomes of recent conflicts have laid bare its complete military and political disgrace. The claim of freeing hostages through military force collapsed quickly, as the exchanges were achieved not through power but through political agreements with Hamas. This reality has outraged Israeli public opinion and further undermined the government’s legitimacy.
In this situation, Tel Aviv and its Western allies beat the drum of “Iranian threat” and regional hostility to divert global attention. While the occupation of the West Bank and the starvation of Gaza’s people continue, Western media exaggerate Iran’s “threat” to cast the oppressor as the victim. This psychological operation, coinciding with plans to deploy foreign forces in Gaza, serves as a cover for ongoing occupation and genocide.
The West as the ‘Savior of Peace,’ partner in war
Western countries are complicit in this deceptive game. The United States, under the guise of proposing a ceasefire, and Europe, with its talk of deploying security forces to Gaza, appear to play the role of peace mediators — but the reality is different. Numerous reports show that Washington, London, Berlin, and Paris are directly involved in providing arms and intelligence support to the Israeli regime.
Although some European governments, under public pressure, temporarily spoke of sanctions against Israel, these stances quickly faded. Following the so-called ceasefire proposal, those same states promptly lifted the sanctions and renewed their backing of Tel Aviv. The goal of these orchestrated maneuvers is to whitewash the West’s role in Gaza’s atrocities and to restore the shattered legitimacy of the Zionist regime in global public opinion. Yet, this dark record cannot be erased — not even with hundreds of propaganda spectacles.
