He compliments a dog, asking its breed, and engages in light conversation with residents, seemingly aiming to counter circulating rumours about his death. The clip comes amid heightened tension in the region, following joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 and Tehran’s subsequent retaliatory actions.This is not the first time videos of Netanyahu have triggered questions about authenticity. Earlier footage prompted claims he appeared to have six fingers, sparking suspicions of AI manipulation. On Sunday, Netanyahu addressed the rumours in a video at a Jerusalem café, jokingly declaring, “I am dead… for coffee,” before holding up both hands to show his fingers.Speculation had intensified after unverified reports suggested Netanyahu missed multiple cabinet meetings during the Iran conflict, fueling concerns about his health and whereabouts. Videos showing his absence in meetings circulated online, though there is no confirmation that the footage was recent.Israeli authorities have dismissed the death claims as false, confirming that Netanyahu is alive, actively managing government affairs, and appearing in recent photos and videos. Experts suggest the disappearing ring is likely a visual artifact caused by motion blur, lighting, or video compression rather than AI manipulation.The video appears to be part of a broader effort to reassure the public of Netanyahu’s well-being amid persistent online rumours.
