Speculations about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's safety have risen again after a video of him addressing the nation was shared online, with some claiming it was AI-generated and showed him with six fingers in his hand.
However, fact-checking by Grok has confirmed that Netanyahu has five fingers on each hand, and the video was not AI-generated.
The speculation was further fueled by a reaction from US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who was called away during a meeting with the media, sparking speculations online that Netanyahu might be dead.
But officials have confirmed that Netanyahu is alive and safe, and has been actively leading Israel's operations against Iran and its proxies.
