Video footage released by his office showed the prime minister being asked about the rumors.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Sunday released a video in response to online rumors that the Israeli leader had died in the midst of the two-week long U.S.–Israeli conflict with Iran.
Iranian state-run media this month published several speculative media reports that claimed Netanyahu had died, while multiple prominent social media influencers also spread the claim in recent days or have asked questions about his whereabouts.
