No, Benjamin Netanyahu isnโ€™t dead, but that hasnโ€™t stopped rumors from spreading online, fueled by alleged AI videos. Some clips claim to show him with six fingers during a speech last week, while others point to a ring mysteriously shifting on his hand.

Benjamin Netanyahu himself decided to put the rumors to rest, appearing at a local coffee shop in Israel on Monday and making light of the situation.

โ€œThey say Iโ€™m what?โ€ Netanyahu said in a video posted to X, according to a translation by the New York Post. โ€œI think coffee is to die for, I think my nation is to die for."

โ€œWe are doing things that I cannot share at this moment, but we are doing things,โ€ he continued. โ€œWe are hitting Iran very hard, even on this day, and in Lebanon, we are continuing.โ€

โ€œThank you for the coffee. It is excellent. I donโ€™t know about the calories. It seems very dangerous to me,โ€ he added.

The prime minister later posted another "proof of life" video at a second location.

The "proof of life" videos fueled internet jokes, with AI edits swapping Netanyahu for the new Iranian Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, rumored to be dead, in a coma, or gravely injured.

This comes as the Iranian regime, already severely decapitated and having had its military capabilities obliterated, has vowed to assassinate Prime Minister Netanyahu.
