Is Israel’s Prime Minister Alive? Netanyahu Video Sparks Global Speculation
However, the AI chatbot Grok has responded to these claims, stating that camera angles or framing issues during video recording can sometimes create the illusion of an extra finger, meaning the video is not necessarily fake.

New Delhi / Tel Aviv: Questions and speculation have emerged on social media regarding the whereabouts and condition of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with some people even questioning whether he is alive. The speculation intensified after a recently released video showed Netanyahu delivering a message.
According to reports, the ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States has entered its third week. During the war, news also surfaced about the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. However, since the start of the conflict, Netanyahu has not been seen publicly nor has he appeared in official meetings or public events.
Although several photos and videos have been released showing him attending meetings or visiting certain locations, doubts have also been raised regarding the authenticity of some of this material.
Meanwhile, the President of the United States Donald Trump has been regularly appearing in the media and participating in official meetings, which has further fueled questions about why Netanyahu has not appeared publicly.
Some observers claim that Netanyahu might have been killed during Iran’s heavy missile attacks on Israel. While Israeli officials have rejected such claims, the prime minister’s absence from public view has continued to fuel rumors.
Adding to the controversy, a recently released video by Israel has gone viral on social media. In the footage, Netanyahu appears to be speaking, but some viewers claim that a closer look shows six fingers on one of his hands.
In reality, Netanyahu does not have six fingers. Because of this, some analysts have suggested that the video might have been generated using artificial intelligence to convince the world that Netanyahu is still alive.
Observers note that AI-generated videos sometimes show unusual visual errors, such as extra fingers on hands, which has led to suspicions about the video.
However, the AI chatbot Grok has responded to these claims, stating that camera angles or framing issues during video recording can sometimes create the illusion of an extra finger, meaning the video is not necessarily fake.
For now, the debate continues widely across social media platforms, and many people are questioning Netanyahu’s current status. Experts say the matter will only become clear when Israeli authorities issue an official clarification or Netanyahu himself appears publicly.
