(Oct. 25, 2025 / JNS) An effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was hung on Friday from a crane in the city of Trabzon in Turkey with a sign above it that read, “Death penalty for Netanyahu.”

The effigy was apparently noosed and hooded. The display, situated in the city on the shores of the Black Sea, was documented in local media and on social networks.

The anti-Israel message was initiated by Kemal Sağlam, a lecturer at Artvin Çoruh University, who said it was a protest against “the violation of the right to life of women, children and innocent civilians in Gaza,” according to Israel’s Channel 12 News.
