Coffee video sparked controversy: Second video arrives from Netanyahu

Posts claiming that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been killed found wide resonance on social media in a short time. Following this, a statement from the President's Office of Israel indicated that the reports in question did not reflect the truth, stating, "These are fake news, the Prime Minister is in good condition."

However, information regarding Netanyahu's absence from the latest Security Briefing Meeting caused various question marks to arise in the public eye.

FOOTAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA SPARKED CONTROVERSY

Following the spread of the claims, a video alleged to belong to Netanyahu sparked a new debate on social media. In the footage, which was stated to have been filmed at a press conference allegedly held after the attacks on Iran, it was noted that Netanyahu appeared to have six fingers on his hand.

This situation led to comments suggesting that the footage might have been generated by artificial intelligence.

VIDEO RESPONSE FROM NETANYAHU

While the discussions continued, Netanyahu shared a video on his X account showing him buying coffee. In the footage, Netanyahu showed his hand to the camera, indirectly responding to the six-finger debates.
