Netanyahu Releases Third Video to Dismiss Death Rumors, Social Media Remains Skeptical

Islamabad: Benjamin Netanyahu has released a third video in an apparent attempt to counter widespread rumors on social media بشأن his alleged death, but questions from users continue to persist.

In recent days, speculation circulated online claiming that Netanyahu had been killed during attacks linked to Iran. Following these rumors, on March 12, Netanyahu issued a video message with strong remarks against Iran’s leadership. However, the video sparked further controversy when some viewers claimed that his hand appeared to show six fingers, leading to accusations that the footage was generated باستخدام artificial intelligence (AI).

The rumors intensified after Netanyahu did not appear in a high-level Israeli security meeting or a subsequent media briefing, fueling further speculation about his condition.

In response, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office dismissed all such claims as baseless. Netanyahu later shared another video on his account on X, where he was seen taking coffee at a café. Speaking in Hebrew, he rejected the death rumors and raised both hands, stating that he has ten fingers.

Despite this, social media users continued to question the authenticity of the video. Some pointed out that the coffee cup appeared overly full but did not spill despite movement, while others claimed the café shown in the video had already been closed.

Amid ongoing debate, Netanyahu released a third video showing him interacting with people at a recreational location. However, skepticism persists online, with some users still alleging that the videos are AI-generated, while official sources maintain that all such claims are false and unfounded.
