Netanyahu Posts Video Joking About Death Rumors Amid Online Speculation
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has posted a video on his official accounts showing him visiting a coffee shop and joking about rumors of his death, reigniting online debates about whether he is "dead or alive."
The footage, shared after claims circulated on Iranian media and online platforms suggesting Netanyahu had been assassinated, depicts him mocking the speculation. Some social media users have questioned the video's authenticity, suggesting it could be manipulated or generated using artificial intelligence, while others maintain it clearly shows him alive.
The speculation has gained traction amid heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, which have intensified in recent weeks and fueled propaganda battles across digital platforms. Reports of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's death have further amplified the online rumors.
Such claims highlight the rapid spread of misinformation during periods of geopolitical tension, particularly through social media and unofficial channels.
