Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday released a brief video dismissing circulating rumours on social media claiming he had died.
In the clip posted on his official X account, Netanyahu appeared at a cafe outside Jerusalem where he was handed a steaming cup of coffee.
“I’m dead for coffee,” he said sarcastically on his official X account as he received a steaming cup at a cafe outside Jerusalem, employing a colloquial Hebrew expression meaning to love something to death.
He also addressed speculation online suggesting that his most recent televised speech was generated by artificial intelligence after viewers claimed he appeared to have six fingers on one hand.
Responding humorously, he lifted his hands toward the camera and asked, “Do you want to count the number of fingers?” — a reference to speculation on social media that his latest televised address was generated by AI, as he appeared to have six fingers on one hand.
During the video message, the Israeli leader urged citizens to continue observing safety instructions whenever rockets are fired toward the country. He said the public’s resilience strengthens national institutions.
The premier then urged Israeli citizens to respect safety instructions in the event of incoming rockets, adding their resilience “gives strength to me, to the government, to the army, to the Mossad (spy agency).”
He further hinted at ongoing military actions in the region.
“We are doing things that I cannot share at this moment, but we are striking Iran very hard, and also Lebanon,” he added.
Meanwhile, tensions remain high as Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps issued a threat against the Israeli leader on Sunday as the conflict involving Israel, the United States and Iran entered its third week.
“IRGC vows to pursue and kill ‘child-killer’ Netanyahu if he is still alive,” Iran’s IRNA news agency said in a post on X.
