"Me dead?": Netanyahu publishes video while having coffee at café

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted a video on his X account today showing him having coffee in a café to deny rumours that he was killed in an Iranian attack and those that the latest images of him were generated by artificial intelligence, so much so that he appears to have six fingers in one hand.

'I have a craving for coffee,' Netanyahu tells the owner as he takes the cup.

Then, extending his other hand towards the camera, the Israeli premier asks: "Do you want to count your fingers?" And the premier shows first one hand and then the other: "Here. See, very nice, cheers."
