The office of Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has cleared the air over his rumoured death.
It dismissed viral social media claims suggesting the Prime Minister had been assassinated following the escalating conflict involving Israel, the United States and Iran.
“These are fake news; the Prime Minister is fine,” the Prime Minister’s office said
Cliq.ng reports that the rumours gained traction after a video shared by Netanyahu on his X account on Friday showed him addressing a press conference on the ongoing Israel-US-Iran conflict.
Some social media users, immediate after the video was posted, claimed they had spotted what appeared to be six fingers on Netanyahu’s right hand when he briefly raised it during the speech.
The speculation spread further after US conservative commentator, Candace Owens raised questions on X.
