- Mar 16, 2026, 04:13 AMIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a new video message to respond to growing conspiracy theories on social media claiming he had died in an Iranian strike. The rumors spread rapidly online after several misleading posts suggested that the Israeli leader had either been killed or seriously injured during recent tensions between Israel and Iran.
In the video shared on the social media platform X, Netanyahu appeared relaxed while sitting at a café and ordering a cup of coffee. He used humor to dismiss the rumors, joking about the situation and making it clear that he was alive and well. His casual appearance in the video seemed intended to reassure supporters and calm speculation surrounding his condition.
While speaking in the clip, Netanyahu joked by saying, "I am dead... for coffee," using a Hebrew expression that means loving something extremely. He continued his humorous response by adding that he was "dying" for his people because of their strong behavior and support during the ongoing national crisis.
To further counter online conspiracy theories, Netanyahu raised both of his hands and clearly displayed his fingers to the camera. Earlier social media posts had claimed that a recent video of him showed six fingers on one hand and was allegedly created using artificial intelligence technology.
Addressing the rumor directly, the Israeli leader invited viewers to count his fingers themselves. He pointed to both hands and joked that everything looked perfectly normal, dismissing the idea that the footage circulating online was fake or manipulated.
In the same message, Netanyahu also encouraged Israeli citizens to remain strong and continue following official safety instructions. He urged people to stay close to protected spaces and carefully follow guidance issued by the country's Home Front Command and local authorities during the ongoing security situation.
Meanwhile, tensions remain high in the region as the conflict between Israel and Iran continues to escalate. Iran's Revolutionary Guards recently declared that they would continue to pursue Netanyahu if he remained alive. The war reportedly intensified after joint strikes carried out by Israel and the United States triggered a broader regional confrontation across the Middle East.
