Netanyahu's son posts Turkish election stock image claiming to show Arab voters

Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Yair, and other Israeli right-wing networks have been criticised for posting a stock image from Turkey, which claimed to show Palestinians voting in high numbers.

Social media users were quick to pick up on the prime minister's son retweeting a stock image of Turkish voters in Istanbul.

The pictures are part of a series of tactics used by Israel's right-wing to scare voters into casting their ballot before polls close.

Throughout the day, Yair Netanyahu and other right-wing figures have flooded social media with warnings that Palestinians and Israelis in left-wing areas have been voting in high numbers.
