Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video alongside Mike Huckabee, dismissing viral rumours claiming he had been killed during the Iran conflict. The clip shows him walking and joking, confirming, “Yes, I’m alive,” amid speculation fueled by his absence and misleading “six fingers” footage. Donald Trump was referenced humorously, with Huckabee saying he was sent to check on Netanyahu. The Israeli leader also mentioned ongoing strikes targeting Iranian figures. Earlier, Netanyahu mocked the rumours in a café video, addressing the finger claims directly. The conspiracy theories spread widely online during escalating regional tensions following Iran’s retaliation against US-Israel actions.
