Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has finally put an end to the baseless rumors circulating on social media claiming he had been assassinated. The rumors were fueled by an AI-generated video that not only falsely claimed he was dead but also depicted him with six fingers on one hand.

In a witty response posted on his ‘X’ handle, Netanyahu is seen sitting in a cafe, sipping coffee. He humorously remarks, “I died… for coffee!” followed by an expression of deep gratitude toward his citizens, saying, “Do you know I am dying for my people?” He also held his hand up to the camera to count his fingers, clearly showing that he has the standard five fingers, thereby debunking the AI manipulation. Beyond the humor, Netanyahu delivered a stern message regarding Israel’s escalating stance against Iran, vowing to intensify attacks. He urged his citizens to stay safe while reiterating that the public’s presence gives him and his government the strength to move forward.
