Uri Geller, Trump, and ‘low-frequency weapons’: how a strange version made it into Israeli news

In Israel, from June 18–21, 2026, an unusual story at the intersection of politics, war, television, and conspiracy theories gained widespread attention. At the center was Uri Geller — an Israeli illusionist and mentalist, known for many years for his claims of supernatural abilities, telepathy, and work with intelligence agencies.

This time, Geller linked the behavior of US President Donald Trump with Iran and claimed that the sharp changes in the American leader’s position could be the result of exposure to “low-frequency electromagnetic waves.”

The main thing here is accuracy. This is not an official statement from the Israeli government and not confirmed information from intelligence services. This is Uri Geller’s public version, voiced in the Israeli media space and then published by Channel 14 as a broadcast story.

What happened on June 18, 2026

On June 18, 2026, Israeli TV host Sharon Gal posted a video on Instagram with a caption in Hebrew: “אורי גלר במסר חד לנשיא טראמפ” — “Uri Geller with a sharp message to President Trump.” In this video, Geller addressed Trump and discussed his position on Iran.

The context was a sharp debate in Israel around the American line on Iran. In June 2026, the international press discussed US-Iran negotiations, a memorandum of understanding, and the controversy over how Washington tries to present the agreement: as a strategic victory for the US or as a concession to Tehran. The Soufan Center wrote on June 15, 2026, that the US and Iran are competing to shape the public perception of the agreement, with sanctions, assets, and the Strait of Hormuz remaining key issues.

For Israel, this was not abstract diplomacy. Any rapprochement between Washington and Tehran is directly perceived through the lens of security, the Iranian nuclear program, missile threats, Hezbollah, and Israel’s future freedom of action.

What was written on June 19, 2026

On June 19, 2026, the Israeli site “בחדרי חרדים” published an article with the headline: “נשמע הזוי לגמרי” — “Sounds completely insane.” The author of the article, Hani Levin, noted the publication time: 19.06.26.

The article stated that Uri Geller, in an interview with Sharon Gal on חדשות 24, offered a conspiratorial explanation for Trump’s behavior. According to Geller, the change in the US president’s position was not accidental and could be related to ELF — Extremely Low Frequency technology, meaning the impact of extremely low frequencies.

Geller claimed that with such technology, it is possible to “bombard the brains of leaders with low frequencies.” He also stated that he knows about this because, in the past, according to him, the American intelligence agency CIA asked him to perform various tasks. Host Sharon Gal reacted skeptically and said it “sounds completely insane.”

In the same retelling, it was noted that Geller suggested Trump might have been subjected to such exposure during visits to China or in Washington. After Sharon Gal’s question about whether the situation could be “reversed” with another signal, Geller stated that he is personally trying to act in this direction.

What Channel 14 published on June 21, 2026

On June 21, 2026, Channel 14 / C14 posted an article under the headline: “אורי גלר טוען: זה מה שקרה לנשיא — ‘הוא לא טראמפ האמיתי’”, which can be translated as: “Uri Geller claims: this is what happened to the president — ‘he is not the real Trump’.” The publication date on the C14 page is indicated as 21.06.26.

The C14 publication directly stated that Geller, on the program “ישראל הבוקר” with Tal Meir, put forward an “unusual theory” about changes in Donald Trump’s positions. According to Geller, hostile elements are using technology based on very low-frequency electromagnetic waves, which allegedly can influence the functioning of the human brain, behavior, and decision-making.

Channel 14 also cited Geller’s claim about the E-1000 technology. He stated that countries like Russia, North Korea, and Iran possess it. According to him, Trump could have been affected by such “emissions” during foreign visits or even through weapons operating from embassies.

Separately, Geller recalled a story from the past where he allegedly helped the US convince Russian representative Yulia Vorontsova to sign a nuclear disarmament agreement using a combination of telepathy and ELF weapons. This was also retold in the C14 material.

Why this story became notable

This story is important not because Geller’s version is proven. There is no evidence in the published materials that Iran is affecting Trump’s brain with low-frequency weapons.

It is important for another reason.

By June 18–21, 2026, part of the Israeli right-wing media space was clearly looking for an explanation as to why Trump, whom many in Israel considered the toughest ally on the Iran issue, began acting not as his supporters expected. When the behavior of the American president no longer fits into the usual political picture, not only analysis and criticism emerge, but also versions on the verge of fantasy.

That is why Sharon Gal’s phrase “sounds completely insane” became almost key in this story. The host did not present Geller’s words as a proven fact. He directly expressed doubt. But the very fact of such a conversation appearing in the Israeli broadcast shows the level of nervousness around American policy on Iran.

What is important for the Israeli audience to understand

For Israel, the main question is not whether “waves against Trump’s brain” exist. The main question is different: how reliable American policy remains if White House decisions on Iran can change quickly, sharply, and without a clear explanation for allies.

In June 2026, the American line on Iran was discussed against the backdrop of reports of a possible memorandum, sanctions, the Strait of Hormuz, and Washington’s attempt to present the diplomatic process as control over the Iranian threat. Meanwhile, in the Israeli discussion itself, the feeling was growing that US agreements with Iran might not align with Israel’s security interests.

NAnews — Israel News draws attention to this part of the story: behind the loud and strange wording about “electromagnetic weapons” lies real political anxiety. Israeli society is trying to understand whether it can continue to fully rely on the personal promises of the American president if his position on Iran can change within a few days.

Conclusion

The fact is: June 18, 2026, a video with Uri Geller and a message to Trump appeared with Sharon Gal; June 19, 2026, the site “בחדרי חרדים” retold this as an unusual and conspiratorial version; June 21, 2026, Channel 14 published material about Geller’s statement on the program “ישראל הבוקר.”

The claim that Iran is affecting Trump with low-frequency electromagnetic weapons remains precisely Uri Geller’s claim. There is no confirmation of this.

But the story itself became a symptom of a more serious issue: in Israel, there is growing concern that US policy on Iran may be determined not only by Israel’s security interests but also by the internal logic of the American administration, negotiations with Tehran, and Donald Trump’s personal style.

And when real politics becomes too unpredictable, versions that would have seemed like a joke yesterday begin to appear in the broadcast. Today they are already becoming part of the news agenda.
