Jerusalem, 25 October, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israeli-British illusionist and self-proclaimed psychic Uri Geller has made an unusual claim ahead of Tuesday’s Knesset election, declaring that extraterrestrials support Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Geller said in a Sunday morning interview that the aliens are on Netanyahu’s side, adding an unexpected extraterrestrial twist to Israel’s heated election campaign.
Geller, 80, became internationally famous in the 1970s for demonstrations of spoon-bending and claims of telepathic abilities. His assertions have long attracted public fascination and skepticism, although many professional magicians attributed his performances to ordinary techniques rather than paranormal powers.
Geller’s statement is an unverified personal claim, not evidence of extraterrestrial involvement in Israeli politics. No independent evidence supports the assertion that aliens have expressed a preference in the election.
