Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed online rumours about his death, appearing in a new video alongside US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.
The clip comes after days of speculation over Netanyahu’s absence and misleading posts suggesting he appeared with “six fingers” in earlier footage. In the video, Netanyahu told Huckabee, “Yes, Mike. Yes, I’m alive,” while joking about the ongoing Israeli strikes against Iranian leaders, including Ali Larijani.
Huckabee, in a light-hearted exchange, said US President Donald Trump had sent him to check on Netanyahu’s wellbeing. Netanyahu praised the joint US-Israeli efforts against Iran, saying, “We are very proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them and get rid of these lunatics who would like to develop nuclear weapons.”
In recent days, conspiracy theories had spread widely online, fueled by social media claims about manipulated footage showing Netanyahu with “six fingers.” Earlier, Netanyahu had also released a video at a café, jokingly addressing the rumours while emphasizing his continued commitment.
