'I'm Dead...For Coffee': Netanyahu Visits Cafe Amid Rumours Of His Death, Shows He Has 5 Fingers

Jerusalem: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dispelled viral claims of his death by sharing a video of him visiting a cafe on Sunday. He dismissed the rumours with a dose of humour while casually sipping coffee. This comes after a wave of conspiracy theories claimed that the Prime Minister had been killed in an airstrike amidst the ongoing war with Iran.

‘I’m Dead For Coffee….'

Along with the video of his cafe visit, the PM tweeted, “They say I'm what? Watch.” The video, which quickly went viral, showed Netanyahu relaxed and composed at the cafe, mockingly repeating the claims circulating about him before sarcastically dismissing them.

Humorously addressing the rumours with the cafe workers, the PM said, “I am dead for coffee.” He added, “I love my nation to death.”

Netanyahu's 5 Fingers

Rumours of his death had gained winds after conspiracy theorists alleged that a recent televised appearance by the Israeli PM was an AI-generated deepfake. The conspiracy theorists claimed that the AI video was meant to mask the ‘fact’ that Netanyahu had been killed. To support their theory, they claimed that in certain frames Netanyahu appeared to have six fingers.

Despite the claim lacking any credible verification, it spread like wildfire across social media platforms.

In the cafe video, Netanyahu addressed this wild ‘six-finger’ theory and spread out his hands to show that he has five fingers. Reacting to Netanyahu's video, a netizen said, "On the third day he rose again...He is risen he is risen." Another exclaimed, “He is not dead!”

This comes after Netanyahu's office called the rumours “fake news”, adding, “The Prime Minister is fine."

'Will Kill Him': Iran

Meanwhile, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a warning to the Israeli PM, vowing to kill him. It said, “If this child-killing criminal is alive, we will continue to pursue and kill him with full force.” It added, “The unknown fate of the Zionist criminal prime minister and the possibility of his death or his escape, along with his family, from the occupied territories reveal a crisis and the faltering situation of the Zionists.”
