Thekabarnews.com—The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, put an end to rumors that he was dead by posting a video of himself in a café in Jerusalem. In the video, he makes fun of conspiracy theories that are going around on the internet.
Netanyahu uploaded the video to the social media platform X on March 15. It shows Netanyahu having coffee at the Sataf Cafe in the hills of Jerusalem.
By making a joke in Hebrew, the Israeli leader mocks the widely shared claims in the video. Netanyahu says, “I am dying… for a coffee,” using the Hebrew word “met,” which can mean both “dead” and “passionate about.” Then he puts both hands in front of the camera and asks, “Do you want to count my fingers?“
Some people on social media claimed that Iran had killed Netanyahu in an attack several days earlier. The tweet seemed to be a direct answer to these claims. A video of the prime minister sparked conspiracy theories online. That video made the doubts even stronger.
Several users speculated that AI generated the earlier footage. A visual distortion made it appear that Netanyahu had six fingers on one hand.
Fact-checkers later confirmed that a camera angle illusion caused the extra finger, not video editing.
Despite the clarification, the rumors spread quickly online. Some tweets connected the claims to news from Iranian state media. These news sources lied about the leader of Israel.
Later, the café posted on Instagram that Netanyahu had been there, which was an admission. These revelations made it more likely that the prime minister had shot the video there.
In the video description on X, Netanyahu also directly responded to the accusations by saying, “What are they saying I am?”
Many people quickly watched and commented on the video on social media. Some people thought the video was funny because it was a response to lies, but others were not sure if it was true.
This incident shows how quickly false information spreads online. This is especially true during periods of political tension in the Middle East.
This incident highlights how difficult it has become to combat fake news and manipulated media in the digital age. Rumors can now spread worldwide within hours.
