Overview
- In the latest clip, Netanyahu appears with US Ambassador Mike Huckabee, jokes "Yes, Mike, I’m alive," and claims he crossed two Iranian leaders off a target list while praising US support.
- Earlier posts showed him at a Jerusalem-area café sipping coffee and holding up both hands to display five fingers, followed by an outdoor video interacting with civilians.
- X’s Grok chatbot labeled the café video a “100% deepfake,” and users pointed to supposed anomalies such as a static coffee level, lip-sync concerns, and a ring that seems to disappear.
- Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office and Ambassador Reuven Azar rejected the rumors and said the videos are authentic, as the Sataf café shared photos to corroborate Netanyahu’s visit.
- Iranian outlets Tasnim and IRNA promoted the assassination rumor and hostile messaging, keeping the authenticity fight central to the broader US–Israel–Iran confrontation.
