Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted a video of himself getting a cup of coffee and chatting with his aide ​on Sunday, after rumors that he was dead or injured started to spread online.

The video has come under scrutiny with many social media claiming that it was generated using artificial intelligence (AI).

Biblical wrath and Christian Zionism

Speculation about the Israeli PM’s safety have been rife since last week, after a video surfaced apparently showing him with six fingers.

The rumor was reignited Sunday, after Netanyahu’s official X account shared a sarcastic video showing him ordering a coffee. In response a user’s query, X’s AI chatbot, Grok, labelled the coffee shop video as ‘AI-generated’ content.

Infowars reports: A video with an English transcription shows Netanyahu was asked about rumors that he died, replying by joking that he was dying for coffee and asking the cameraman if he’d like to count his fingers.

A jab at internet rumors that he had an extra finger in a previous video many thought was made using AI.

He continued to tell Israelis they should go out and relax, but only in protected areas, adding that the IDF continues to strike Iran and fight in Lebanon.

However, many internet users still aren’t buying the prime minister’s video, claiming again that it was manufactured with AI.

Popular X account @ShadowofEzra called the conspiracy “Coffeegate” and pointed to Netanyahu’s cup of coffee failing to spill over despite being full to the brim as a sign that the video was faked.
