In a shocking incident, a nude statue resembling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was erected in Tel Aviv’s Habima Square on Wednesday. The unexpected statue portrays a naked PM squatting and urinating.
The statue, which was placed on a metallic-looking pedestal, is being seen as a figure of protest. According to the report, the statue was five-meters tall and weighed six tonnes. It has “Israeli Hero” written on it. However, the artist who was behind the statue is still unknown.
Ahead of elections next week, an incident like this triggered mixed reactions among the public. The polls will be held on March 23.
For people unversed, Netanyahu is the longest-serving prime minister in the history of Israel, with over 14 years in office. Going by reports, he is expected to win this year’s elections too.
