Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sparked concerns after death rumors spread, but he's since shared a video on social media platform X, savoring a cup of coffee and dismissing the rumors as 'fake news.'
The video, which has garnered significant attention, shows Netanyahu remarking, 'I am dead for coffee.....' His office had previously dismissed the death rumors, stating that the Prime Minister is 'fine.'
However, speculation persisted, with some speculating that a tweet from Netanyahu's account confirming his safety was deleted. Fact-checkers and the AI chatbot Grok verified that no such deletion occurred.
Netanyahu's son, Yair Netanyahu, refrained from posting on X for a number of days, prompting some to imply a family tragedy. However, there is no evidence connecting his absence to any harm to the Prime Minister.
Netanyahu mocks his death rumors in the video, saying, 'You know what? I'm “dying” for my people. How they are behaving is fantastic.'
The video came after Iran pledged to 'pursue and kill' Netanyahu if he is alive. Netizens react to Netanyahu's video, with some stating that 'It seems that he is sick.'
